I checked and it will not be back up for a couple more weeks. Since, we had planned on the elevator as a back up if I could not walk in we will wait until next time we are this way.<br />We are hoping things turn around, weather wise, in the next 12 days. It has been crazy for April.

Though the people we talked to at the Depot Museum and the Visitor Center were not from Columbus, NM.<br /><br />The elevator is down at Carlsbad Caverns right now and that was the back up if I could not make the walk in. So unless something changes there, I guess it will be back on the to see list for another year...:(Tom and Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564285175697134395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847538540249587575.post-32589067157382567632018-04-15T19:18:56.068-07:002018-04-15T19:18:56.068-07:00I am thinking here, at least, the thing that put t...I am thinking here, at least, the thing that put this little town on the map, so to speak, was the raid in 1916. So that is what the focus is. <br />We are in Roswell safe and sound.

Kinda like the TV ratings. Oh well.<br />Safe travels to Roswell. <br />Nice sunset pics!Dave McMechanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321482378390568366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847538540249587575.post-55436013971679076242018-04-14T06:38:47.938-07:002018-04-14T06:38:47.938-07:00How cool that the little town keeps their history ...How cool that the little town keeps their history alive. <br />I'm not really one to enjoy going underground in tight spaces, but I've heard amazing things about Carlsbad Caverns.

There is a lot of history here and we really lucked out meeting the gentleman at the Visitor Center who not only knows a lot about the area but was fun to interact with.<br />The Pink Store is nice to check out and lunch was good. If in the area, we would definitely go back.<br />We, Tom especially, are looking forward to Roswell.<br />You and Riley have a safe travel day, also.Tom and Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564285175697134395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847538540249587575.post-51532430433711310292018-04-13T20:44:38.853-07:002018-04-13T20:44:38.853-07:00As I am writing this the wind has calmed down quit...As I am writing this the wind has calmed down quite a bit so there is hope...:)<br />The Depot Museum was really nice but the visitor center at the park and the volunteer we met there was even better, next blog. <br />We are looking forward to seeing the Carlsbad Caverns.

Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed the history very much. <br /><br />I've heard a great deal about the pink store and I guess we should put it on the list of things to see at least once. <br /><br />Enjoy Roswell. We stayed only a couple of days in the area but enjoyed it. <br /><br />Safe travels.

The Depot Museum is awesome so well put together and full of history! Made for a great visit for you and out of the wind mostly. I'm glad you've decided to visit Carlsbad Caverns, you will be impressed. Take the Natural entrance down and then you can take the elevator back up. It's really something to see! Nice gift store as well! Travel safely, will hope the wind is at your back if at all. :))Ken and Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09361055624097167727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847538540249587575.post-89562666275847803972018-04-13T11:47:06.513-07:002018-04-13T11:47:06.513-07:00So much interesting history in the area and lunch ...So much interesting history in the area and lunch at the pick stere we enjoyed as well, very tasty and of course the free margaritas a bonus as well. <br />Enjoying time with new friends is always fun.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.com
