We Were Amazed by Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico!

We couldn't believe how humongous this cave actually is! The 1.25 mile hike along the cavern path seemed longer than that to us, but perhaps it was because we stopped so many times to set up the camera on a tripod and take yet another breathtaking 30-second exposure. The snack bar inside the cave was closed, so we were not only starving but exhausted by the time we made it back above ground! We highly recommend this "customizable cave adventure" to anyone, since you can take it at your own pace. Watch the video for more tips and what to expect on your trip to Carlsbad Cavern, or just enjoy the show!

About Us:
Hi! We're Mike & Kerry, the proud owners of a 1992 Bluebird rear engine (pusher), 40' school bus! We named her Bussy McBusface in honor of the RRS Boaty McBoatface travesty!
We built a Tiny-Home-in-a-Bus for full-time living in the most adventure-friendly way possible. Bussy was never meant to be parked in a driveway, waiting for weekend trips or holiday getaways. After we finished the build, we packed everything we kept into the bus and drove away from our old house and into the world of off-grid living, aka boondocking, and endless travel adventures!
Since we planned to be boondocking the majority of the time, we made choices such as; a 100-gallon water tank, an Air Head composting toilet, a 1500w solar power system with 1000Ah in AGM batteries, etc. We'd love to have you stick around and follow us on our journey, from our Skoolie Build Series, to infinite buslife adventures beyond!
Mike & Kerry

My grandfather was born in 1887 and traveled from Illinois to Carlsbad NM to be a cowboy. He was there before all of the hoopla that surrounds the place now. The cowboys would go up there for entertainment once in a while to watch the bats come out at twilight. But they did not venture into the cavern as it was very dangerous and they heard several people had gotten lost or hurt in there. He loved his life out there but the allure of my grandma brought him back to Illinois and they married in 1910. He was such a horse whisperer that when a carload of wild horses from the west would come in to Quincy Illinois the sellers would hire him to ride the horses out of the boxcars and gentle them down. He did that until they quit bringing the horses in when tractors became popular. He never owned a vehicle. He believed in horses and buggies and used them daily for farming until he quit farming in the mid 40s and then my dad and/or his siblings would drive grandpa and grandma wherever they wanted to go. He traveled out there with my great grandparents blessing at the young age of 16. They must have thought he was very capable at that age. His application to be a cowboy was showing them what he could do with horses. He passed! I've been there twice and wondered at his courage to do something like that when he was so young. He got do do what most of us only dream of.

We are spelunkers, and have done wild tours of WInd Cave and Jewell Cave. We were going to do a convention at Carlsbad, but didn't have the time on our month long trip.

[@Sneakers103]

Hey guys my name is Nick from Pink Oklahoma. I'm from the Carlsbad area. We would go to the caverns every year and walked in and out. We always looked forward to But it wasn't until I was old that I realized why my dad insisted that we always walked back out. It makes for quiet and peaceful ride home!!! LoL I love your show keep up the good work.

[@Kcon102010]

Went there with my Grandparents in 1998. Great memories.

[@Kristy_not_Kristine]

Wow! It's much larger than I imagined!!

[@gmancolo]

So many interesting caves in the Guads. That's impressive that south Louisiana was reached on amateur radio. SAR, 4x4, hikers, etc. regularly use amateur radio, and cell coverage can be non-existent, overloaded, down, etc.

[@melissahoffman4687]

You look great Mike from shaving! :)

[@donnatucker3263]

Ham Radio is great if the grid goes down. I know in weather related instances here in Alabama the Ham Radios sure came in handy I’ve been told.

[@dlbracer56]

awesome

[@openskies4245]

So glad you explained about the photography. We were at Mammoth Cave last weekend and found a GoPro useless. My iPhone took a fairly dark video.

[@lmear7266]
