trip destinations thoughts?

We are in the process of buying our first 5th wheel with the intent of going cross country this summer for about 5 weeks. We will use the 5th wheel locally to get "settled" a bit first. Anyway, leaving from NY I have the following list together with Yellowstone and Glacier being our focus on this trip.

1. Bay City State Recreation Area, MI on Lake Huron-20/23 per night (1 night)
2. Cherry Orchards Drive / Mackinaw City, MI (2 nights)
3. Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, WI (3 nights)

4. Jamestown, north Dakota stop, (one night)
5. Theodore Roosevelt National Park (one/two nights)
6. Glacier National- Park

Am I missing anything worth stopping for or advice?

If you go by M Rushmore, do not forgot to drive the short piece to see Crazy Horse in progress. We throughly enjoyed parking our 5w at Rafter J Bar Ranch RV Park. It was a bit higher price, but was a top rated RV park.

Crazy Horse is well worth the time.

Slow down. make time to a destination, then spend time to see it well. Whirlwind trips will exhaust you, not relax.
Save other destinations for another trip.

If it's along your route, Mount Rushmore is a great day trip. Also, Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is another good side trip.
