[SWR] Caves in/near White Oaks,NM?
Hi. Does anyone know if there are any caves near White Oaks, NM. Googled it, and it is a semi-Ghost Town. Looks like a great place for a regional if there was something to explore…..FYI the turn off for the town is just past the intersection in Carrizozo going north….

Carl, Who knows? I don't know if there is any limestone in that area, but I do know that White Oaks is an old mining town. You should check it out. On May 28, 2012, at 7:22 AM, Carl Pagano wrote: Hi.

Caves, no, but it is a semi-artsy old-west community, smaller than Madrid, NM. Sue McSween's (re: Lincoln County war) grave is there. The unpaved road continues through a pass near Ancho Peak to the ghost town of Jicarilla, with mines in the woods and eventually re-emerges at Ancho and back on highway 54 between Carrizozo and Corona. Fascinating bit of history back in there. Once I saw mining debris including old whiskey bottles, mason jars, dry cell batteries, in addition to the usual bed springs and foundations. The road to Claunch on the opposite side of 54 appears to go through a gypsum karst area with sinkholes, gyp features. Don't know of any caves explored there. It was great seeing everyone who came to the SWR 50th Anniversary party. Thanks to the organizers, great festivity! jtml Date: Mon, 28 May 2012 07:22:10 -0600 From: Carl Paganopagan...@comcast.net To: s...@caver.net Subject: [SWR] Caves in/near White Oaks,NM?
