I could probably have used a hitch-carrier for water and the cooler. In the summer I might think the cooler would get too warm but this past trip...maybe it would have been fine most of the time. Our back seat was reserved for Scout the ThundahBeagle, so we had to make clothes fit in the bed...

5742 miles total

Next time, I would definitely make more solid plans. I tried to be fluid about it, since my brother in law was meeting us at Sioux Falls, and I wasnt sure if my nephew or sister would be available, and what days, and such. But looking back, none of us had a solid plan. We were all winging it. A...

At first, I over-built my platform and drawer system in the bed of the truck. Then I pared it down. Got rid of the drawers and bottom plywood, and used plastic totes on little wheels that happened to fit in the corrugated tracks in the truck bed. We saved a little space and weight. We did wind...

Thanks, Grub! There is a lot I might do differently, but I'm very pleased overall with this experience. Your trip sounds exciting! Let me know if I can give you any details. For us, we hit rainy, windy and snowy weather almost the whole time. Cant be helped but it did change the dynamics - and...

I never thought I would want heated leather seats. Then I turned 50 and my girlfriend says "I'm not riding in that truck" indicating the Silverado without heated leather seats. She wanted the Sierra with heated leather. I went with that and am happy I did

Beautiful scenery. That Jeep does look nice. We just finished 5700 miles in my Sierra, and my brother in law drove his new Jeep Gladiator. Looks pretty comfy. Is it?

@Road has the best advice here, through experience and being from the area. Good luck, though. Yellowstone was packed this past week when I was there. Just read an article about mist national parks reaching record breaking attendance this past April, and it's not the official start of the...

Unfortunately we missed the Grand Prismatic. It had darkened and started raining, then snowing. Some of the others on this trip were a bit less hearty and didnt want to get drenched. We did, however, stop to see Old Faithful. That was a sight. Amazing how it goes off more or less on schedule...

We stopped to see the Mammoth Hot Springs

After the wedding, we spent some time with my nephew and his new bride before they took off for Iceland. Then we headed over to the Gardiner entrance of Yellowstone. We didnt pass through the Roosevelt Arch but we did see it from the store near the entrance

I will say, while we were in Big Sky, we saw very few sedans and fewer sport coupes. The bulk of all personal vehicles seemed to be pickup trucks, SUV's, and, if they were cars, they were AWD cars like Subaru and AWD versions of a few other makes. A lot of vehicles were outfitted for camping or...

We've hit Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. While the weather was good for the Badlands, it was cold and rainy through Yellowstone and the Tetons. But enjoyable nonetheless!

Looks nice. GoPro? GPS? What's going on it?

My brother in law has been caravaning with me on the Boston to Big Sky ride. He has a brand new Jeep Gladiator. I like it, but this has been his issue as well. For him, everything is packed into the bed under a tonneau. The good part is, he can access stuff via the tailgate or by rolling back...

This hurts, Smiley. This. Really. Hurts. -Signed, your tan GMC Sierra, Granopy.

By the way, when in the Gallatin/ Big Sky area, do stop into The Corral. Its food, drink and motel in a log cabin since 1947. Its across from the Rainbow Ranch. We didnt stay there but we had supper and beers, and then breakfast and beers there. Probably the best meal we have had so far on the...

Stunning outcroppings and cliffs down to the fast moving Gallatin River. The whole Gallatin National Forest all around, Four Corners, the Canyon via rt 191. Also rt 64 going to Lone Mountain and big Sky resort (currently closed) are gorgeous. We want to take pictures all the time. Unreal. The...

The best pics of the Gallatin Canyon, I cannot post yet. They were taken by the Lady Beagle as I drove. But if you want an idea, the flyfishing scenes in the movie, "A River Runs Through It" were filmed there
