Nice not having to load up and drive 300 plus miles. Decided to play tourist and visit places and things we have not seen before.
They call it Sitting Bull Falls although he never came close to being here. The Apaches call it gostahanagunti which means hidden gulch. Seeing as they are the local native tribe and it is at the end of a box canyon, I prefer their name. Interesting to find a waterfall out in the desert and otherwise barren land. Also did quick tour of Artesia. It has a nice little downtown area that you drive thru. Probably should have stopped and walked around a bit but a thunderstorm was closing in.
Random shots of the Ranch and the misnamed Sitting Bull falls.

| love the work these guys did. My ongoing tribute to them. |
Plan is to revisit the caverns tomorrow. Also plan to eschew the elevator and walk the mile plus distance using the original entrance. Hope these old knees can hold up...
