Treherne, MB is around the 12 Hour mark and depending on the day, (work EMS remember), a Steak BBQ could be arranged. And lots of room for a tent to sprout up.@MBMedic, how far in advance do you know your work schedule? I'm thinking if I take the northern route, I would still try to make your place on the first day out of Sundre, leaving before the sun is up on Monday July 30th. I know there's what, an hour time change on the way? So I would likely be in pretty late in the evening to your place. You think that's doable on your end?

The 30th is my first day of 4 back at work. I work 12 hrs in office and 12 on standby at night. So I can't guarantee I am at home that day.
It will take a month to find out if I can pull it off but I will request time off and let you know if it is approved.
I mean... gotta have time off to provide a hot meal to start the day for a weary traveler

And..... thus far, denied.
Considering a quick run out west but as for extra time off, it isn't looking promising

I am looking to see if I can clear the time to ride with you to Sundre if you need company.
Any more word on whether you're going to head out to Sundre? Welcome to come on with us. Looks like @Ross has been granted parole and is rolling his hoop along.

I am still trying to get everything together. Depends on the medical issues of a couple of family members. As soon as I know you will know, thanks for asking

Here's how this thing is shaping up.
1st day (Sun, 7/22): leave here around midnight or 1 am, get to @Ross place early afternoon Sunday.
Day 2 (Mon, 7/23): Leave the house at 4 am or so, drive until noon or so, find a place to grab a lunch and cool off for a few hours, then hit the road in the evening, and if my calculations are right, we should be right outside Badlands National Park right quick. Might could even make it by noon or so if we left at 3 or something.
Day 3 (Tues, 7/24): Hit Badlands at dawn. I want to see it in the morning light before the tourists clog that road. Then head West towards Cody. Drive out the day until we can't handle it anymore, hopefully within an hour or so of Beartooth.
Day 4 (Weds, 7/25): Hit the road in time to start Beartooth at morning light. Another road I want to see, but not deal with tourists. Then head north into MT. Stop the night near GNP, at the place Harvey recommended.
Day 5 (Thurs, 7/26): Same deal, early departure, hit Going to the Sun Rd shortly after dawn. That should put us at the border before noon, and Sundre late afternoon.
See anything that works, let me know.
