Bill, We are ruining this thread but we first traveled in Mazda RX-7 (5 speed stick, rotary engine, two seats) and a large tent. Our very first trip: honeymoon in Banff, Canada (flying into Calgary). Followed by a Taurus wagon, Chevy van, pop-up trailer, and now the TC. We like to stay 1-2 weeks in one place and day hike everything and so all the maps (tired of driving). Currently planning a summer trip 2015 to K-country, Lake Louise soft-side CG, your Glacier NP, and just exploring the parkway (and yes we have all the maps).
