To take my mind off of the depressing knowledge that "da bus" is winterized and in her garage for the next few months, I've been working on our trip next summer/fall.
We're pretty flexible on when but would like to keep the trip to about 30 days. So...the highlights are:
*Theo Roosevelt Nat Park, ND for 2 nights after 4 days of driving. DH wants to fly fish.
*Glacier via Missoula for 3 nights. Going to the Sun Hwy is at the top of the list of things to do. DH wants to fly fish.
*West Yellowstone for 3 nights via I-90 to US 191 unless there is a reason we shouldn't try that route. DH wants to fly fish.
*3 nights inside Yellowstone somewhere. Maybe a day trip to Teton. DH wants to fly fish.
*3 nights in Cody and do the Chief Joseph & Beartooth loop from Cody. DH wants to fly fish.
*From Cody, I guess we'll do the southern route through Thermopolis & Casper rather than cross the Big Horns.
*1 night at Devil's Tower.
*3 nights in Custer State Park avoiding Sturgis Bike Week! DH wants to fly fish.
Hoping to drive west to east through Badlands. I've been east to west in a car and don't remember any road hazards that would prevent driving the Moho through.
*A night in Murdo, SD and do the car museum.
*I'd like to visit Walls Drugs & the Corn Palace but wonder about taking the Moho & jeep into town. I remember it being pretty congested when I drove it a few years ago but I think DH would enjoy seeing them.
*Then back to IN.
I think I've planned places to stay so that we can dump and fill water tanks EXCEPT at West Yellowstone. I'm hoping to get a site at Baker's Hole in Gallatin Nat. Forest which doesn't have water (that I can see). Can we get water in Yellowstone somewhere? If not, is there a place in West Yellowstone where we can get water? If we can't get a site at Baker's Hole, we'll try to find a place in one of the parking lot campgrounds in town which would eliminate the water issue. No plan C yet!
Right now, I'm thinking we'll make the trip in August. Our 2 boxer furkids will go and I know that will limit some of what we can do.
So.... suggestions & advice are very much appreciated! I want to get reservations in Yellowstone soon and jump on the rest of them as soon as I can.
