Loved what you did with the inside. So homey

[@arnieg9703]

I totally loved Carlsbad caverns! There is never enough time to see everything down there. The guided tours add so much information.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We totally agree, the guided tour was the best and we learned so much! The you could spend the whole time in just the big room too if you didn't get on a tour. Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

I was at Carlsbad caverns many years ago, quite an incredible place. I remember the water pools had incredible colors. I also remember it being very cool down there. Lol We plan on RVing next year. Hope to run into you guys one day!! Beer and 🍕right up my alley. Safe travels. 😊

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We are so glad we got to go to Carlsbad!! It was so amazing to do the caves & you did need a jacket! We so hope we run into you guys & we are always game for pizza & beer! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@mollyjackson5731]

We are just loving your New Mexico travels. Carlsbad is on our list to see too! oh, Joel another DDD! lol

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Hi guys - we are so glad you are enjoying our NM series! Glad Carlsbad is on your list now! Joel was just fine- 😆 - Thanks Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@rollinwiththedavises1938]

Like you, Carlsbad was a bucket list item for me. We did the self-guided tour a couple of years ago. It did not dissapoint. Wind and rain and earthquakes, oh my 😜😜What a crazy few days for you. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We are so grateful we did the Ranger lead tour and the self-guided was just as good! We did have Mother Nature to deal with while there & added to the experience! Thanks guys! Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@coachsean9982]

We are apparently following you guys! We plan to hit Roswell and Carlsbad in about a month. This is great info!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We are so glad we can help out! We had an amazing six weeks in New Mexico! Safe travels & hope it's not as windy for you!! Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

We can’t wait to explore Carlsbad Caverns!! Haha yay for the Chinese fire drill! Glad you got to check it off your bucket list…even though it wasn’t on his bucket list 😉 Rainy move days are no fun! Love the singing, Deb! 😄

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

This was an adventure!! Joel did like Carlsbad once it was done and back on flat grounds! Can’t sign at all, but it is always fun to try & in the rain! 😆 Thanks guys- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@LivingtheSilverLife]

That was a cool cargo trailer camper. Love Carlsbad area. Great hike. Went to the caverns back when I was a kid and loved it. Haven’t actually been to the caverns with Bill. You’re lucky you’ve never had to hook up in the rain. See you soon, Bill and DeAnna

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We really enjoyed the area and doing the caves! Bill would love it! Can't wait to see you guys! Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@thisisouradventure]

That is definitely a National Park on our list. We can't wait to see it one day. Packing up in the rain sucks.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

You guys will love it! We still can't believe this was our first time breaking down in the rain, sure it will not be the last! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@thewanderingshores]

We loved our visit to Carlsbad, we walked down the natural entrance and took the elevator back to the top. Joel I hope the drive back down was better than the drive up 8)

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We really enjoyed Carlsbad! The drive was worse for Joel as he was closer to the edge! 😆 - Thanks Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@cris_miko]

Did you have to get a special permit to film in the NP?

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

You do need a permit in all NPs if you are going to make money from the video. We did not monetize this one and make no money from it. It is a great question & a lot of questions around the permits. Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@WaywardWaggs]

Loving your state park stays! What a beautiful cavern - so impressive. Sucks you had to pack up in the rain, hate when that happens.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Thanks guys & we miss you! We have been so luck and not had rain before! But had fun singing in the rain 😂- Thanks Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@lizscott-n8w]

I with you Joel went see Carlsbad drove up the mountain in a class C I sat on the floor😬

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

It so weird a cave is on the top of a mountain! 😆 The heights were not good!! Glad Joel is not alone in it! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Death defying day with Deb 😂. It was pretty crazy to go there right after an earthquake. It was very cool though so thanks for sharing! Pretty amazing that after 2 years this was the first time you had to tear down in the rain! Safe travels! - Mike and Shelley

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Hey guys! We still can't believe we didn't know we were in an earthquake & but weren't thinking we were in an area that would even have them! 😆 - Death Defying Days with Deb is real - sometimes - 😆 at least to Joel!! We have been really lucky not to hit rain taking down or setting up! We will just keep chasing our sunshine!!!! Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@brucetaylor5750]

I sometimes miss pushing a patrol car around. I tell my two sons I ought to go back to police work. Both are active LEO’s they just laugh and say yeah right old man. One is a Deputy the other is city cop. I tell them I worked before computers in cars so I was a real cop they laugh at me.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We agree! You were a real cop! Didn't need a computer to tell you the fine amount or directions to a call!! We started our careers that way!! Thanks & back the blue! 💙 Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@justramblinaround]

Hello this was great! First yes this is our favorite part of traveling and now You tubing meeting such wonderful people. All the breweries you stopped at looked perfect! I already have the exact tour on my list funny thing is I book these things I really sorta want to do but dont want to do just like Joel and hell no right after an earthquake. Strange think one happened in a section of Washington yesterday a small one and one happened today in Idaho bordering Oregon we have been having a few of these lately. Ok I would have felt and said the same thing hearing Rons tummy but I would say I should have had him make us something or should have made sure we went somewhere. LoL! Yes everytime we do something out of one of our comfort zones usually mine we earn that beer! Just delt with heights in Seattle and in a few weeks your gonna laugh cause thats the first thing Ron said let's go get you a beer princess! Well good thing with the rain gives you some practice for when you get here!! Always love watching you both! US hanging is gonna be epic we will need a few different meets ups !! Love making up songs!! Or altering versions of songs! Safe Travels!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

It will be so Epic!!!!! We can't wait to meet up with you guys!!! We call Sue & Melvin our Milton’s brewery friends and we will be seeing them again next week!! We still can't believe we didn't know we were even in an earthquake! 😆 But we are so glad we got to go to Carlsbad & get another beer at Milton’s afterward as Joel so deserved it! We can just do things for you and Joel to earn beers as we go! Lol- Cheers Friends - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@RetiredRoadTripping]

It seems like it's always super windy in NM!! Guadalupe Mtn Brewery was closed when we were in Carlsbad..... :-( The caverns are amazing!!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We have determined it is always windy in New Mexico! 😆 but so worth going & guess you will have to go back! Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We are not fond of that entrance into the state park. Do you know if they were planning on trimming the trees at the entrance? LOL @ Joel's face as the elevator kept going down! 😂 It is so miserable tearing down in the rain! Y'all looked like weather people with your yellow raincoats on though! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We never saw a ranger to tell them about it. No one was at the office when we stopped in. The heights in the caves were really bad for Joel! The yellow coat was Joel's old patrol rain jacket and there are pants too! 😂 Thanks Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@melodyassaro]

We boondocked not far from Carlsbad Caverns. Unfortunately they closed down because of the outbreak. Guess we have to go back. I would have freaked out knowing an earthquake happened.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Well that’s too bad & you will just have to go back!! It is amazing to see! We didn’t even think about the earthquake until the Ranger said that everything was checked and okay! 😂 Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@melodyassaro]

@@ChasingOurSunshine thanks ranger for making my heart rate go up lol

[@RickandDarcirvadventures]

Great video and great ideas for the area. Maybe we missed it but how long was the hike in the cavern? It wouldn’t off good for Joel to check the tires at night because they say to check them while they are cold.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Without doing the hike down it was still 3 miles of walking down there - the hike down would have added 1.25 miles to what we did! The caves are huge! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@RVAmerica]

I really don't know that I would have gone down into that cave right after the earthquake. Talk about death define days with Deb. Lynn and Danny

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Haha! We didn't realize it was an earthquake we felt until we saw the warning on our phones when we got up! The Ranger said we were all fine! 😆 - we are so glad we did the Ranger lead tour! Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
