I am a retired woman traveling alone with my two standard poodle dogs. That means I will be unlikely to boondock or go way off the beaten trail and out of cell service range for calling road service.
I am planning to leave Pensacola in mid to late April, 2017 and spend three weeks exploring South Dakota in the areas along I-90 then on to Custer's Battlefield on the Crow reservation in MT and to Boseman. Hopefully, I'll arrive at Yellowstone for when it opens in mid-May- before the kids get out of school and the crowd comes in.
Or I could wait and leave in mid June when the weather gets unbearable here and make Yellowstone after Labor Day.
There is a lot to see both getting to Yellowstone and traveling back. Hope to make Grand Teton, as well, but not Glacier. Most of the Rockies will be avoided because I'm a flat-lander and not experienced with driving an RV over even moderate hills. Florida is a sandbar.
I want to paint scenic views, encounter/paint wildlife, including lots of buffalo and draw/paint impromptu portraits of the many people I come across. Also love pow wows, art festivals and buffalo round-ups. Traveling with two dogs means most activities will have to be outdoors with them on lead. It is too hot to leave them in a locked RV in summer. Not interested in cities.
All you experienced travelers must have gone this way before. Any suggestions?
Thank you for any input.
