Well, last July I had to move my 84 yr. old Mom from Goldendale, WA to Spokane, WA and she wanted me to bring my van to take some things back east to my sisters. So on the way back, Yellowstone(hike up My. Washburn), Jewel cave tour, soak in the hot springs in Boseman,MT, Pryer Mt. wild horse preserve and Bighorn Canyon, Devils Tower(take the longer walk around), Custer State park(rode a horse thru the Ponderosa), drive the Needles highway, Badlands National Park. I did go to Mt. Rushmore but it was real zoo, would not waste the required parking fee to do it again.

I've had the privilege several times of having opportunities to travel extensively without a firm schedule both within Europe and the U.S. One of the best Eurpoean trips was exploring on foot and public transportation Rome, Venice, Athens, and Madrid as well as the rural environs of these countries. Most recently was a trip from Northern Michigan to Wisconsin with several day hikes on the Ice Age Trail. This trip also included stops within the Boundary Waters for canoeing, the Badlands, the Crazy Horse monument, Devils Tower, another visit to Yellowstone whereby we circumnavigated the park by bicycle, and hiking through the Tetons. Once spent just over two weeks traveling on the 'Mother Road' from Chicago to LA but my traveling companion quickly became exasperated with my propensity of stopping at every roadside historical marker and local museum. She excused herself in Oklahoma.
The next trip will include a tour of Civil War battlefields starting with Gettysburg .

I guess top of the list is games at the other 20 MLB parks with my youngest son.
Plan to knock off a few before NH/ME this summer. And then a whole lot more in 2018 & 2019.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

A battlefield road trip would be pretty epic as well. Some good hilly hiking at Sharpsburg, and if you do South Mountain the AT passes right through the battlefield.Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more, you should never wish to do less. - Robert E. Lee

When I was a kid (summer after 5th grade), our family loaded up a '70 green Plymouth station wagon and drove from MD to CA and back. Stayed at motels and KOA's along the way. Stopped to see grandpa on the farm in Nebraska and dropped off the dog. Drove through the Sand Hills en route to CO and drove up to the top of Trail Ridge Road (RMNP) where my sister blacked out. Drove to Colorado Springs to see the Air Force Academy, Garden of the Gods, and Royal Gorge. Then we crossed the Rockies to Mesa Verde NP and toured the cliff dwellings. Stopped at Four Corners to stand in four states at once. In AZ we stopped at Meteor Crator, Painted Desert, and Petrified Forest. Ate Mexican food in Flagstaff. Made a quick stop at GCNP (south rim). In CA we drover through Joshua Tree NM (wasn't a NP yet) where it was 130 deg in the shade and we saw only one person. Emerged at Twentynine Palms and finally made it to LA. Went do Disneyland (rode the Matterhorn) and Knotts Berry Farm. Drove up to Sequoia NP to see the General Sherman Tree. Then to San Francisco to visit an Uncle I had never seen before. He gave each kid a 5$ bill for gambling at Reno. At Reno we stood on the street (kids are not allowed in the casinos) and watched while dad lost all our money on a slot machine (took about 5 minutes). In SLC we saw a dramatic recreation of the Morman migration story. Drove back to the farm in NE to retrieve the dog and drove back to MD. Now that was a trip.

Long story short, I went to Carlsbad Caverns, Rocky Mountain NP, spent 4 nights in the great divide basin, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and a LOT of out of the way just to see what they were like places. Loved it.

Sounds like a great trip! After I got back from Desert Storm I had 56 days leave built so I took 28 and headed west. Tossed a tent, stove and sleeping bag in the back of truck and rolled out. I had never been further west than Starkville, MS and that was to play a baseball game, lol.

It was insane, and huge. No circle-with-wedges-cut-out crap here. It looked like they made it in a 9x13 or so cake pan and cut "slices" the full width of the pan. We shared it between two people and couldn't eat all of it, in spite of not overstuffing for lunch.Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more, you should never wish to do less. - Robert E. Lee
