No problem. .... We are only mid-70's, I doubt we will get to be seniors for another 10 or more years. Leave in early May, return in September. Enjoy the trip.
Ditto what Tee Jay says! We are 68 and spent 5 months up there in 2012 and again in 2014. We are planning on going back in 2016! You only go around once and need to have an empty bucket list when the final trip is complete!
Your 4 month plan is a good one. This will not be a trip to rush!
The unmarked frost heaves are really hard on equipment if you hit them to fast. On our last trip we saw a fifth wheel that didn't sow down setting about 150' off the road. He had pulled the hitch out of the bed of his truck when he hit a major frost heave at 60 mph! When the white line on the road in front of you gets wavy SLOW DOWN!
Let us know when you are leaving. We might see you on the road if it is next Spring!
