We're planning the exact trip for August-Oct this year. The word from a friend that has done this is - don't be in the Rockies after September.
The plan is to leave Aug 1 and make our way to Dayton where I'm crossing the Air Force Museum off the bucket list, then up the UP to Mackinaw and across US 2 to Glacier NP. Current thinking is down I-15 to Idaho Falls to the Craters of the Moon the back up US95 to Couer d'Alene and back on US 2 to Grand Coulee and continue onto the Puget Sound Area.
I haven't planned the trip back yet, but it will be roughly south on I-84 and I-15 to the the Grand Canyon and then east on I-40, maybe north on I-25 to Denver where I can pick up I-70 or one of the US routes east. A stop in Lee's Summit MO to visit the DD and then home for Halloween.
Hadn't thought about heading that far south from WA, another thing to consider.
