[QUOTE="apratt, post: 248809, member: 787"] I got a PM from James Burleigh that he was interested still/again. It would be great to make three or more. Camp or no camp? My latest thinking adds more time in Oregon than the original plot: # Sat to Happy Camp, far-northern California. 430 miles, an early start from the South Bay. # Sun to Ashland and then halfway up Ken Hattan's "Oregon Cascades" route, stopping near Bend. 380 miles. # Mon the rest of the way north on Ken's route, then east to Kennewick, 440 miles # Tue to Bozeman, 540 miles. This breaks down as 190 miles of OK(?) roads to the foot of the amazing stretch of US12 in Idaho, 140 miles of that stretch to Missoula, and 117 miles on pretty and interesting I-90 to Butte, finally another 90 boring Interstate miles to Bozeman. The last parts can even be after dark; I don't think we'll be missing much. I'd rather burn moonlight Tuesday than daylight on Wednesday: the Yellowstone day is already 400 miles. # Wed to Red Lodge, Beartooth Pass, Yellowstone, and Jackson. 400 miles to the Motel 6 south of Jackson. # Thur to Park City 240 miles. Easy-peasy. I really like the idea of Red Lodge and Beartooth Pass, rather than the shorter-and-easier route south from Bozeman through the park. But when the day comes we might feel differently. Are you thinking of camping? I have a propane stove for cooking and morning coffee.
