Thanks for the reply. Reservations have been made. Here's the agenda

1. am drive to South Llano, swim all day, stay SLRSP
2. am drive to Davis Mtns, stopping at Fort Lancaster for a travel stop, attend Star Party on a New moon Saturday night, stay at Davis SP
3. am visit Fort Davis NHS and explore Davis SP a little, stay at Davis SP
4. am drive to Balmorhea, swim all day, stay Bal SP
5. swim all day ( or day trip to Carlsbad Caverns) stay at Bal SP
6. Drive to South Llano, stopping at Fort Stockton for a travel stop, stay SLRSP, swim upon arrival
7. swim all day, drive to Devils Sinkhole for bat tour pm, stay at SLRSP
8. swim all day, 2 hour drive home.

We considered Caverns of Sonora, but they have a steep price. We just did Natural Bridge for a school field trip in May, and Longhorn is $ 17 for adult and a kid (which we've seen and will do again with Scouts in August), C of S is $36. For that price, a day trip to Carlsbad to see possibly the best caverns in the US, would be worth it.
