It looks like you got some trip planned. I know carlsbad has some caverns and you would be kinda close to the San Diego area. If you look at the map you may check out Murrieta hot springs and lake Elsenore may have some good areas to check since the Lake shore line has flooded and moved many times.(You can ask the older residents about this.) I am in California but the North End in Shasta County 500 Miles North of Carlsbad. I live in the Gold Fields of 1949. Sutters mill by Tahoe was first and Old Shasta & in French Gulch was Mined the same year!. Too bad ya can't head here where the area is rich in history. We still have our French Gulch Hotel since the Gold days and out city Washington mine is going strong as the 3rd oldest and 3rd producing Gold in the USA. Good Luck I hope this helps. Goldentruth.
