When I recently read the story of a new passage discovered at Carlsbad Caverns, I was thrilled.  I remember as a child, my family took a summer vacation to Carlsbad Caverns. I was only 10, but I never forgot it. If you have never seen Carlsbad Caverns, you MUST!!!!  It is spectacular and offers views that you probably have never seen. I still laugh when I think of my mom going through barefoot, because her heels were a no no. Like mother like daughter.

A team exploring the park's Lechuguilla Cave, the deepest cave in the US, climbed over 410 feet  into a high dome in early May and discovered a maze of previously unknown passages, pits and large rooms.  It's been named Oz. I imagine it is a true wonderland.
