Tried visiting the Carslbad caves but the rangers stopped visitors at the gate - the elevator is broken, was broken yesterday and heaven knows when they will be fixed. There's a difficult hike down and a difficult hike back up for the hardy souls who would want to try it anyhow. I decided to pass, there simply was not enough time to do this. I would have had to stay another day.
By the way, at the entrance of the park I saw this fascinating building near the top of the hill. I really wonder what it is and what it's story is.
So, I drove out of Carlsbad towards White Sands. First flat, then lightly undulating, increasingly bendy roads and higher trees till I arrived at a rather hokey mountain pass (I don't believe those buildings were really this old - I think this might be a popular holiday destination in winter (?)
Arrived in Alamogordo, checked in and went to visit the White Sands.
Magic.
