Looks like a great trip Doug! If you are around Custer the middle of July, look for a Pod w/Jersey plates!

We're thinking Palisades State Park looks like a nice stopover this side of the Missouri River.

You need to add Custer State Park in South Dakota as a place to see; Lots of wildlife and close to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and the Badlands also Devils Tower plus several caves in the area that are national monuments.

Seeing how you are at Painted Desert/Petrified Forest on Old 66, swing into Winslow, Az. and take a picture at Standin' on a Corner Park. Also check out the Great Meteor Crater, when we were kids you could hike to the bottom of it. Hard to believe that my parents were that patient with us to let us do that.
Have stayed at KOA's in Holbrook and Flagstaff, both are good. Just south of Flagstaff on Lake Mary Rd. are a couple of National Forest Campgrounds in the pines that are great. Goose
