1. MUCH TOO LONG FOR A MONTH TRIP -- More like 8 weeks.
2 The first SHAKE DOWN trip should be close to home such as a COE lake near home with a Walmart close by. You will make lots of mistakes on the first trip. Even if you have full hook ups dry camp without any hookups so you can experience boon-docking
3. One month trip Sand Dunes, Mesa Verde and the 5 National Parks in Southern UT. This will keep you very busy.
4. If you are over 60 (?) get the 50% senior discount card for NP and make reservation 6 months in advance. Campground fill up quickly.

6. If Seattle is the main goal, bypass all before Crater Lake and spend time on the Oregon coast/waterfalls/painted hills.
7. If you rush and do the long trip this year, what are you going to do next year?
