I'm starting to plan the summer vacation, as the title says, Indy thru Yellowstone, to Everett, Wa.
Dates of travel July 6 thru July23, dates can be moved but my wife works fulltime and is normally limited to 2 weeks, she's stretched to the breaking point to get 2 1/2 weeks, because I said I couldn't make that drive in 2 weeks out and back.
The plan is to drive north I94/I90 thru N. Dakota/Montana, drop down to Cody Wy, and then thru the park, stopping to see Old Faithful, and out thru West Yellowstone, and up 287/2 back to I90.
Everett is a given, my sons live there, and this trip out to see them is the primary reason we bought an RV. The trip thru N.D. is just a bucket list item, the last 2 states I have to see west of Philadelphia are ND and Montana. Yellowstone is Yellowstone and I can't imagine driving that close and not going thru to see it.
The return trip will be farther south, again just to add more states to wife's list. I5 to Portland then I84 to Salt Lake, I'd like to cross CO on I70 then back to I80 in Neb. and home.
Questions: 1. Is camping in Cody, then driving the Motorhome thru Yellowstone feasible? I don't intend to camp in the park, just stop at Old Faithful and go on. Driving a small class C.
2. Coming south thru Salt lake can I take US6 over Soldier Summit, or would I be better off going farther south and taking US50 from I15 to I70.
3. How's my timeline 7 days out, 5 days in Everett, 5 days return.
