The Midwest Swing

Minnesota to WyomingOPUS OP4The Tracy Family

The Tracy family, four people and a rescue dog named Pearl, ran a 17-day arc from Philadelphia to Wyoming: Blue Mound State Park in Minnesota, Custer State Park and the Badlands in South Dakota, Chimney Rock in Nebraska, then Phantom Canyon and the Rampart Range in Colorado.

"With our camper, it became very easy to settle on each stop after long days on the road."

Six campsites in seventeen days is a lot of set-ups and pack-downs. The OP4 was, in their words, "a great choice throughout the journey and was simple to set up wherever they stopped for the night."
