Asa, you gave me my first laugh of the day.
I have this picture in my mind, our 2016 group photo for the clinic, all of us in these colorful sashe/bandoleers.

Oh my, the possibilities are endless for your car trip. We came across the norther part of Utah in 2013. Made a loop from here, down through CA, into NV then NM. Up to CO, across UT and back into Oregon. I still dream about it. Bring extra camera batteries & storage cards for your camera. You can sleep in the Van in some areas. The dogs will keep you warm.
Pack easy to eat food for man and beast.
We did not plan our stops, we simply stopped whenever the landscape or signs to things looked interesting. We did google some of the areas we would be going through, took the Garmen and a wonderful large Rand McNally Road Atlas. This is the one we got in the 2013 version, worth every penny spent on it.
