Underground of Enchantment

Hi Friends,

Today is the opening at Carlsbad Museum is the 'Underground of Enchantment'. It shares the beauty of 'Lechuguilla Cave' with the public. Lechuguilla Cave is a cave they are still exploring in Carlsbad Caverns National Park. To date, it's 130 miles (yes miles) long.

Because of how delicate the cave environment is, only about 100 people are permitted to enter the cave each year. You must have vertical rope skills to enter the cave. Once inside, it is still a challenge to go up, down, and carefully navigate the cave.

Life forms found in this cave do NOT exist anywhere else in the world. Scientist believe that if there is life on Mars, it may be similar to what exists in some of the cave pools in Lechuguilla.

Since most of us will never be able to go into this cave, this exhibit is very exciting. They will be showing 3d pictures of the cave! It opens today in Carlsbad and will be here for several months. After that, the exhibit will travel to outher areas and states.

I've attached a link for those who are interested. I'll be there this afternoon and hope for a great turn out.

Love to all,

VAL & JOHN
