Does anyone know if a 2012 Caveman Fly In is being organized for this year and what weekend? :D

I know a lot of us have talked about going this year and are planning on it, but I don't believe a specific date has been nailed down. Hey Gary or Rod, think we can get a date picked so that we can get it on the calendar?

Also, Rod, did you ever get the pics and ideas I sent for this years t-shirt? Can't wait to see it.

We are really looking forward to it again.

That works for us. It is also good because the following weekend is Mother's Day and I know that a few couldn't come last year due to that. We can't wait!!!

Stopped at Caveman about 10 days ago on my way from Fairfield, UT to Albuquerque. Was in really good shape. How are the camping facilities or do you suggest one of the cave rooms.

If you do a search for Caveman and look for the trip reports from years past, you'll read/see what all is available. It's great "under the wing" camping. We've not stayed in a room before, but I think this year might be different. So, Rod and Gary, I need to call "first dibs" on one of the rooms in the Lodge. Packing 5 of us this year, I'm going to have to cut down where I can. Plus, maybe that will cut down on the amount of dirt Sadie eats!
