Wouldn't that have been fun!
I was traveling with my two adult sons, and we were ripping through the country, because one of them had only 15 days for the whole road trip. We put 10,840 miles on a rental car and passed through 15 states. And we were making it up as we went along. One of them would call ahead to a hotel while we were en route. We never knew exactly which town we would be staying in. One time we stayed on an Indian reservation in Wyoming (Wind River, Sheshone/Arapahoe), though we didn't realize it until the next morning. It was 2020, and most of the hotels had intense Covid protocols in place, but that one was a free-for-all at the breakfast bar, etc. Of course, L&C never saw Wyoming, but we departed from their route long enough to take in the big parks, which we'd never seen. Yellowstone has a connection to one of their men, John Colter, because he stayed behind on the way home to trap beaver and stumbled into it. When he got back to civilization and tried to tell people about it, nobody believed him. We had four nights in Wyoming and four nights in Oregon, so those were the two highlights for us. After Wyoming, I was worried that nothing else would measure up, but Oregon did not disappoint. We stayed in Portland, Astoria, Florence (I think), and Klamath Falls after seeing Crater Lake.
