If I think trying to figure out where to stay in states I couldn't even have located on a map before last week is hard, I can't imagine how the generals ever planned D-Day!!
I'll say right upfront: MAPS ARE NOT MY FRIENDS
They have never been my friends. I didn't begin to venture out anywhere on my own until I got my first navigation system that TALKS to me and tells me what to do. I call my Jeep navigation system "Sheila" and the Garmin navigation thingy in the RV is called "Roxie." Roxie has a slightly nasal, just a hint of contempt in her voice. Neither Sheila nor Roxie has ever yelled at me for missing a turn!
Here's my first stab at an itinerary that gets me through the first half of the trek from Bakersfield to the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior in Wisconsin. I have the first 8 days planned out and that gets me as far as barely over the stateline into Spearfish, South Dakota. If anyone reading this has any ideas or changes about where to stay, please email me ASAP. I have reservations made with one night actually be a roughing it night in a national forest--electricity but nothing else.
Night #2--Wednesday, August 22rd--Leeds, Utah http://www.leedsutah.org/
Night #3--Thursday, August 23th--Springville, Utah (actually Provo)

Toccata is becoming a mapophile! Looks like a great itnerary to South Dakota. Roxie is yelling that we wants all the destinations in her Favorites. What a demanding bi*** !
Just remember, Mount Rushmore and Spearfish may be in the Black Hills, but they're in different parts of the Black Hills. If you're going through the Mount Rushmore area and staying in Custer, you may want to just avoid the Spearfish area.
My heart is set on Spearfish!!! I will rent North By Northwest before I give up Spearfish!!!
