In 1966, our family took a 2 week vacation from Grand Rapids, MI to Yellowstone via the U.P. > SD Badlands > Black Hills > N. WY > stayed in a cabin for one week in Pray, MT (just N of Yellowstone). Then back through Glacier NP > Billings, MT (relatives) > ND Badlands > U.P. > Home.
Our Family = Dad & Mom, 14 yr old son (me), 12 yr old son, 10 yr old daughter, 7 yr old daughter.
Our Rig = Family size tent - Stayed at KOA's
Our "tv" = VW Bug, pulling a 16 ft aluminum boat with all gear and supplies and 5 hp motor (tarped).
I remember the trip and the places we saw... It wasn't until many years later, however, that I looked back and thought, "We took 6 people on a two week trip in WHAT???" Couldn't have been that bad, as I don't remember any of us complaining.
