Anyone know if 'downtown El Paso' is OK, is it safe to walk from downtown to the venue, it's only about 3Km
Don't really want to stay in some soul less chain motel (expensive motel!) by the airport.
Where were you thinking of staying, DoubleTree or Camino Real downtown? EP downtown isn't as lively as many other towns, kinda empty for the most part, you'll have to walk a little up hill on Mesa street, not too bad i would guess.
Trip sounds fun, you're headed to Carlsbad Caverns, its been years since I've been, but you'll enjoy the walk down the caverns. Be sure to take a sweater, for some its a bit cold the further into the caverns you get. I think the flight of the bats is out of season by then, but that's a sight to see as well.

With today's govt shutdown, the caverns are closed. Lets see if people in Washington get things settled quickly.

Just realised this yesterday - most of our trip is to monuments, missile sites, UFO and western towns or pueblos. If everything is closed what do we do?
Strange country this - where the goverment decides who goes onstrike and the ordinary workers are the ones losing money and incurring debts!!!
Hope they sort this out soon, we fly out tomorrow.
You can try Old Messilla in nearby city Las Cruces, nice quiet old town with a few restaurants. Not sure if Ft Bliss shut their museums. Would offer more suggestions but drove out to Phoenix to see Depeche Mode tonight,then head back tomorrow to get ready for tHe CuRe...will check back.
