Well, I'm not female, and the trip wasn't infinite, but I did do a 111 day 18,700 mile trip in a RAV4 & 17' Escape fiberglass "egg" trailer last summer. Will be doing it again this starting April. ...
As Mark stated, you cannot depend on finding cell based data coverage at most National Parks but there is coverage at a few. I was able to pick up an AT&T signal at Death Valley National Park in the...
You might want to check that iPad - Apple currently (as of 1/9/12) does not make any 4G devices. Hopefully, they will add 4G to the iPad 3 that is expected this March, but as of now all iPads are 3G...
On a cross country trip during the Spring & Summer of 2011 I visited Bodie Ghost Town near Lee Vining, CA. Actually, I made two visits, the first on May 8th, and the second on June 4th.

Not only do you need a tripod, but most of the time you need a method of cutting down the amount of light to decrease the shutter speed. If there is lots of shade you might get away with choosing...
One more advantage to traveling in an RV - If you are visiting state & national parks, you can often stay in the park. Although some have lodges, many don't, and the nearest motels are sometimes a...

Absolutely beautiful photographs! I've been to many of the same locations on a trip last summer, and I know what you mean about getting out to the False Kiva - I found the hike rather exhilarating,...
For most of the photos I used either a 10 stop or variable neutral density filter to cut down the amount of light so I could work with long shutter speeds. Generally, shutter speeds were around .25 ...

My wife & I have made many cross country trips on the US "Red" roads (non-interstates) , and we have found new & unforgetable places to visit each time. There are so many wonderful places to see...
Sounds like a great trip! As to June being too early for Glacier - although the full length of the "Going to the Sun Road" usually opens between late May & early June, some years it is later. ...
The size limit is 8' wide, including mirrors, and 21' long so most RVs are out. If you don't have a toad, take one of the "Red Bus" tours. I believe they also started a standard bus run across the...

If you are driving I70 through Colorado, a great hike is Hanging Lake directly off the East bound lane of I70 10 miles East of Glenwood Springs. A bit rough at the top, but a beautiful hike along a...
