Scoot, I figured I'd drag this from PM to here.
So is it going to be Yellowstone, or Grand Canyon? If you go to Yellowstone, you need to hook up with Gary the Piscatologist, he is in Sheriden, Wyo...he is a great guy. You two would hit it off very well. Sheriden is right by Custer's Last Stand Battlefield also, I bet your boys would be very interested in that. Great interpretive center there with a cool model of the battlefield.
We are going to Yellowstone.
I booked the Grant Village Campground inside the park
which is located at the southwest edge of Yellowstone
Lake. They don't have any hook-ups for our pop-up
trailer so I'll have to make certain I fill up the
water tank at the last campground before we enter the
park.
Tentatively our flexible itinerary is looking like this:
Day 1 - Ohio (~12 hrs of travel with stops)
Day 2 - Iowa (~9 hrs)
Day 3 - Nebraska (~10 hrs)
Day 4 - Lander Wyoming (~10 hrs)
Days 5 - 11 Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park
Days 12 - 13 Cody, Wy
Days 14 - 15 Black Hills of SD, explore Rushmore, Badlands, Crazyhorse, etc.
Day 16 - Minesota (~8 hrs)
Day 17 - Illinois (~8 hrs)
Day 18 - Home (~9 hrs)
I would be very interested in going fishing with
Gary the Piscatologist. I wonder if he still lurks
here.
I also need to find some good places to see along the way.
If any one knows of any please let me know.
Custer State Park is on the list.
As are Jackson Hole, Museum in Cody, Devils Tower,
Wall Drugs, etc.
I'm in search of great trails to hike and fantastic
sections of river to fly fish in Yellowstone and Tetons.
If anyone knows, tell me about it, please.
