Central Western US road trip!

[hoob]

I have a one month journey planned for Sept 05 until Oct 06 later this summer. The purpose of the trip is a scenic tour of the Great American West for photography, personal reflection (just getting away from everything), etc. I am travelling alone, by car of course, and lots of driving is half the point (it is a road trip actually) as long as it's scenic.

So anyone have any comments or suggestions about my itinerary below? Note that the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone/Grand Teton are excluded from this list as future travels will take me there.

Sept 05-07: San Fransisco
• Arrive in San Fransisco and see the city

Sept 07-10:Northern California and Oregon Coast
• Coast drive up to Coos, Oregon
• Humboltd Redwoods SP
• Redwood NP
• Oregon Caves NM

Sept 11-14: Central Oregnon and southern Idaho
• Crater Lake NP
• Crack in the Ground NM
• Boise / Sawtooth Range area
• Craters of the Moon NM

Sept 15-23: Southeastern/Southern Utah
• Moab area
• Arches NP
• Canyonlands NP
• Capitol Reef NP / Grand Staircase / Escalante NM area
• Bryce Canyon NP
• Zion NP

Sept 24-26: Central Nevada back to California
• Great Basin / Wheeler Pk. NP
• Nevada Route 50 (Loneliest Road in America) to Lake Tahoe
• Return to San Frasisco to meet up friends

Sept 26-Oct 06: Central California with friends
• Yosemite NP
• Kings Canyon NP and Sequoia NP
• Northern Death Valley NP

Oct 06: Return home

Please note that the schedule is quite plastic. If there's no time, I may push the southern Utah sites to a future Arizona / Grand canyon / Monument Valley area visit.

Here I am in a tent in a campground in Moab, Utah, and they have free wifi access. Gotta love technology.
