Honest stories are the best stories. I hate to give credit to the interwebs and reposts but the saying “you can always make more money but never more time…” starts playing a bigger role in your life as it goes on. Less “I wish…” and more “I did…” can right wrongs. Looking forward to all your travels.
I’d be careful about coming to the Canadian border region (Glacier National Paek etc) in the “late fall”. From September on temps can fall well into the -15 - -25 degrees Celsius and snow is always a potential in the Rockies from mid September on until mid May. I say this as a Canadian who lives and travels extensively in BC and Alberta and who lived for many years near the Alberta/Montana border. Note; the Cascade Mountain highway between Washington State and Montana often close by mid to late September due to snowfall at higher elevations. Might be a good idea to plan travelling the northern states in late August, early September. Just a thought.
Thanks for that advice - I was so surprised by how early campgrounds shut down for the winter that far north, but it makes sense. We can handle subzero temps, but we're not outfitted to drive in serious snowfall... yet 😅
@@USS.Overlander glad to help.:)) The arrival of severe winter weather is always a little unpredictable but given that an early snowfall or extreme cold snap can instantly turn a holiday into a survival situation, it’s best to plan carefully and to be prepared to retreat or have an alternative safe place to go. In my experience (having driven the Rockies through all seasons for more than 40 years) it’s best to err on the side of caution. Not many Rv’s are insulated well enough to keep pipes from freezing when the temps drop below -20 and blowing snow can turn a bare road into an impassable roadblock in a few short hours. Note; you probably do this already, but if travelling to this latitude in the fall, be sure to pack extreme cold weather clothing. These are critical in the event you have mechanical breakdown and then find yourself caught in some rough weather. So, enough “worry-warting” from me. Travelling the countryside by vehicle is a fantastic experience. Enjoy and have wonderful and safe travels!😁
