It's that time of year.  We're leaving next week for our annual "Long Trip."  Doing South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Maybe Yosemite and Death Valley.

Any suggestions for photo shoots ... nature, wildlife, festivals, "editorial events"?

Nope nothing there but sagebrush and desert, don't take a camera. 

If you get to Yosemite, look for Yogi and BooBoo, or was that Jellystone?

Honest: In the national parks, from what I've read, many of the classic shots are just about the only shots, so if you can find a different angle that's not from a staged site, you may have something unusual. Oregon has loads of amazing views and open logging trails if that's your interest?

Above all, have a safe trip and have fun.

I will be on trip too next 2 weeks, don´t ask me why but I am thinking about Editorial too, might not sell this or that but I really wanna approach more people and take pictures of other lives (street, working, etc) on their natural environment, perhaps that feeling of getting envolved and know what others do is becoming more interesting to me, quite inspiring actually

Where are you going, Luis?  Pixart got me to thinking about the western scenes; editorial travel stuff; I've had some decent sales at SS with editorial sports.  Wondering if editorial might be my start into video?  Need to search on "gunfights."  

Would love to be traveling in your "neck of the woods" but that will have to be another time.

@Pixart: we do travel in an RV.  Our MO is to find a central spot and park the Trailer.  Use it as the "base camp" and make day trips until we've satisfied our curiosity.
We're going in reverse of your trip, coming North thru Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska.  We may come thru Las Vegas on the return to TX.

Thanks for all the input. 

We're in Spearfish, South Dakota, a few miles west of Sturgis and on the Wyoming/Montana/SD border.  This is our first stop with showers.  The "finance minister" runs a very strict budget.  
 Posted a rushed edition of the blog from our first stop ... Wind Caves National Park. Internet connections are few and far between.

Will be catching up later on Badlands stay and an ill-fated journey into the Fort Pierre National Grasslands area.  FLOODING!!!

Nearly there.  We're camping tonight just north of Great Falls.  Will camp in St. Mary tomorrow night.  Maybe we can do a flyover?   

Posted Chapter 2 of the blog last night.  We're heading into Glacier today.  Will be offline for a few days, maybe a week?

That answers the question of how you parked and went to sites around an area. Trailer job. Nice! I wasn't sure if it was a fifth wheel or how you were doing it. Some people have a motor home and tow a small car. You mean that house on wheels doesn't have a shower?

OK so I'll be watching!  nice pictures. Terribly jealous, wish I was out there instead of camping with the poison ivy in Wisconsin!

Hi Warren- glad you final made it to Glacier National Park. Sorry about the rain snow and cold-but that is Montana. There is a saying around western Montana-"I miss summer this year -I was sick that day". Hope you got some great photos

I'm jealous, I want to do a short road trip but we don't have those things on the East Coast and the rain is coming for the whole week.  Have fun it looks like a great trip.

Warren-Glad you are enjoying your trip. Having lived in western Montana,Oregon and Washington most of my life,I sometimes think we take all the scenic beauty for granted.

We've made the turn toward Texas.  "Go See It" enthusiasm is waning.  Still 1700 miles from home but where ever we decide to stop next will be on that trail.

Best advice I have is Look for stuff that no one else see's or has done. Think out of the box.
