OK , What area? Do you wish to stay close to the park since you want to go there? Or do you want something in the High Guads? Those caves are an easy 2 hours drive time from camp site to town or park. They can be hard to find and require long hikes in many cases plus you may need a pre-approved trip leader. McKittrick Hill is closed except for resto and I posted my dates for this years permits already & they don't match your dates. There is Wind aka Hicks with a 15 foot drop that is close to the park. I usually use a cable ladder as that seems to work best...And it is an all day cave easy. Need more info to better advise. Karen

I wanted to give most of a day letting everyone do the tours at Carlsbad, can't be in that area without hitting it, its well worth it. Do you have something in mind that is suitable? I will be out working on the Carlsbad resto over thanksgiving, and perhaps I can hit one of the other weekends, depends on work :) I'm stuck at work right now or would call you, so maybe email for just now.
