Damn, i wish i had seen this earlier! I am planning a trip up there the last weekend in August for labor day and made reservations at the KOA outside of town. I also have a couple other people coming and don't want to jack with their schedules. Next year with you guys for sure!
Theres a possibility that we(wife and 3 kids) will be joining you all. We were supposed to go to Carlsbad Caverns, but the weather down there may not play fair.
