Thanks.  My wife is going to call Diamond Caverns tomorrow to see if they have room the night we need it.

A quick "local" note.. If you want hook ups at Mammoth Cave, the park doesn't have them.. BUT I highly recommend "Diamond Caverns" resort. It is on the park "parkway", about 5 miles from the cave entrance.

Campground  has good amenities, 2 pools, mini and real golf, direct access to the hiking and biking trails at MCNP.

Also since it is just down the road, the National Corvette museum is nice, even if it's GM.. LOL.

Very good to know.  We found that out after making our reservation, and they don't do refunds.  We were just going to rough it that night - and hope the temps fell low enough to be comfortable with a fan or two.  I'll mention that campground to my wife, we might just eat the $17 loss at the in-park campground to have A/C.



If you can't get it worked out, we are just over an hour north of there, not to far off your route of travel.. 30amps available anytime. We own campers BECAUSE of the need for AC here in the summer.. (well, and I am a fan of having our own "facilities" when needed)

On our last big west trip, I kept a journal on my iPad. We saw and did so much during the trip that the journal really came in handy once we got home and tried to remember everything!  I then made a Shutterfly digital photo album and included the journal entries so now we can sit down and relive our fun trip whenever we want!

Wow, that looks like a great trip planned out! We are hoping to get a longer one in ourselves next spring and have started figuring it out, but this is amazing!

You have some great trips coming up, if you have one each summer for the next three or four years!  Our oldest son was working full time the summer between Junior and Senior year, and didn't want to go on vacation, and the youngest was in love, went along anyway, and made the trip miserable.  Enjoy vacation with kids while you can!

Definitely will have a ton of pics, my wife is an avid scrapbooker and has become very good with a full-sized SLR to fill her books up.  She's done electronic scrapbooking a few times and says she may do it for this trip so she can start while we're on the road.

Techntrek, that sounds fantastic. Your girls will have some wonderful memories. Be safe out there and post lots of pictures so we can all be jealous!
