Hi again! This last summer, Luke took his mother and the kids on an epic one month trek across the western US with the 560 Ultra (#163) and our Dodge Magnum RT (the Death Star). this trip commenced just after our son finished Kindergarten (around June 16th) and ended about July 20th. They left Oakland, CA and headed up to Glacier National Park, making pitstops at Boomtown, NV, and Missoula, MT. After Glacier, they went into Canada and hit up Calgary and Banff. HOWEVER, that area got their 100 year flood and the road to Banff was closed. Instead of going across Banff to Camloops, Vancouver, and back down to Seattle, they instead came back down into Idaho and stayed awhile at Cascaades National park. Then it was on to Seattle, along the Oregon coast, Portland, and Crater Lake NP. The kids (Jackson and Lili) LOVED Mt. St. Helens National Park and wouldn't stop talking about volcanoes for weeks. Meandering back into California, they hit up Lassen Volcanic park, before coming home. All told, the trip was about 5100 miles as there ended up being a lot of backtracking and many many little side trips along the way (just barely makes a long haul). The kids LOVED it and now there is a big summer roadtrip expectation. Yikes
