How do you plan a trip?

I think you may find you want to spend more than two days at Yellowstone. It’s a huge park and you’ll miss a lot with just a couple of days. As far as MS S&T’s go, it bases its overnight stops on your start and stop times. I think the flexibility comes into play if a destination/stop on the trip is within the flexibility you set.

But maybe I use it a little differently. I just punch in the info and see what it shows me. Then I adjust my time or stops to fit what I want to do. For example, I recently planned a short trip to Houston for the DW to visit family. It had her stopping in some obscure place in Texas and I knew she wouldn’t want to drive longer. So I just backed up and set Abilene as an overnight stop. And that’s how I basically use it, I just tweak the driving time or stops to best suit me.

That two days was confusing I was saying it only added two days to my travel time. The plan is.

2 Weeks to travel to Banff National park
2 Weeks in and around Banff
2 weeks to get home

I still have 2 weeks that's why I'm thinking about hitting Yellowstone National Park



I'm going to have to play with the software a little more I've never used it before, I'm going to spend some time on it tonight.
