I really do appreciate all your advice but I don't or shall I say we don't think it is too much. There really is nothing that we really want to see until we get to NM. Been to all the other places before heading to NM. We drive our MH 6 to 8 hours with no problems just for us to go to Key West is 8 hours not a problem. 8 hours is our max per day but only have maybe 2 or 3 days of that planned due to the terrain. We don't mind the heat we live in FL and most of our vacations in the past have been in the summer and we usually go to Islands we don't do well with the cold so we are concern we may be cold at times. NM we really only want to spend like 3 days in Carlsbad that is about all the caverns and hiking we want to do there. Then off to vegas and we willl go through Roswell to see what the hoopla is about that and make time to see the creator. Then in Vegas we want to see some shows like Celion Dion. Oops we are taking a train ride through the Grand Canyon which we have reserved already. We will spend a day seeing lake powell but heard that it is ok and of course Bryce. Then to Zion and spend a couple of days and off the Yellowstone for like 4 days then we want to go to Mt Rushmore, Sturgis and Crazy Horse thats about all of the west that we are interested in. Of course we can be flexible we are able to do that if needed. Then from Mt Rushmore what ever is the quickest way back to FL that is what we plan nothing in between there that we are interested in. I am in my late 40's and my husband is 51. One thing we have learned is that you sure can get to places a lot quicker by via a mh then our 46 boat and a whole lot cheaper on gas.
But thank you for all your input I really take it all in. Total trip will be about or close to 7000 miles round trip. It may be a whirlwind trip but we are up for it and probably won't go west again for sometime at least with the kids they are getting older now. When I post next I will put my itinerary with the mileage etc then you can tell me what I have found for mileage etc.
We have made reservations for many of the places already except for Las Vegas a nite layover in Ogden and Rapid City, SD.
Thanks again
Colleen
