Power back on at Carlsbad Caverns National Park

After a couple of days of using generators at Carlsbad Caverns National Park, power was restored late Friday night, according to John C. Benjamin, park superintendent.

Wind gusts to 50 mph Thursday was blamed for the initial outage.

"Everything is back to normal out there," Benjamin said Saturday. He said Xcel crews were able to restore power to the park earlier than anticipated, with power restored at about 10:30 p.m. Friday.
