Countdown continues

One week to go! I can hardly believe it. Seeking advice - any packing tips to live out of the car for 2 months? Any suggestions for eating on the road? I’m looking for ideas for traveling “light” and eating nutritiously on the road for 10,000 miles without a kitchen. We’ll have a small cooler and a thermos (remember those)?  Thank you, hive mind!

Five Week Countdown

Looking up “Top Activities” in each national park on the itinerary- Badlands, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Olympic and Rocky Mountain, in that order. So much to choose from! Hikes, bike rides, boat rides, boat rides to hikes, float trips, scenic drives. Yikes! I better start building up my stamina. (Hard to do here in flat Florida.) Planning to stop first at Visitor Centers and talk to rangers for suggestions, too, and get maps and daily events schedule. Also hoping for clear night sky viewing. Questions: Times entry pass required for Rocky Mountain State Park - anyone have any experience with one? Get? For 8-10am? Noticing bear spray recommended. Hoping not to get close enough to need that. Don’t think it’s sold in my local CVS. Any suggestions? Ideas to plan for, activities you recommend that needed advance reservations? Any particular eateries inside parks to make reservations for? Anyone ever have the bison short ribs in Yellowstone?  Thanks, hive mind!
