Mysterium 2001

On Friday, August 3, 2001, fans of the Myst series met in Carlsbad, New Mexico for a gathering known as Mysterium. Here are a few snapshots taken of the event. (Clicking on a picture will open a larger version of the picture in a new window.)

The marquee of the hotel welcomed the Mysterium attendees.

This sign in the hotel lobby pointed attendees to the conference rooms.

Some of the attendees visited with each other late into night.

On Saturday morning, the attendees headed to Carlsbad Caverns.

This thorny little plant can be found all around this area.

Shots from inside the cavern.

This old, broken ladder was once the way down to a lower part of the cavern.

Unfortunately, I don't have any complete group shots of all of the attendees. Several group shots were taken during the weekend, but none that I'm aware of were complete. It seems that different people were missing in each of the shots. Here are the group shots I have.

Attendees (mostly in white shirts) gathered to watch as the bats left the caverns for the night.
