Yellowstone Weekend: Part 0 - The Itinerary / Logistics

So there were 7 of us... and our logistics (as I found out a few days ago):
Friday:
1) The first triplet...
- Leave work early, and 3 of us (the RV drivers) go meet w/ RV owner at Kenmore (~ 4 hours away)
- Once arrived, get a run-down on the RV from RV owner (~1.5 hrs)
- RV drivers drive around the block so RV owner gets comfortable leaving the recreational vehicle in our capable hands...

2) The second triplet...
- While the above was happening, another 3 will drive up separately and meet up at where RV owner lives to rendezvous with the RV drivers

3) Combining the 2 triplets...
- The 6 of us drive then heads towards Yellowstone in the RV (~13 hour drive), leaving behind the 2 sedans at RV owner's place

4) The single...
- 1 of us is flying into Bozeman?, where he picks up a SUV rental, then will head towards Yellowstone to rendezvous with us

Goal: This was to be completed by Saturday noon-ish, so that we can hit a few sights before the end of Saturday.

Saturday:
- Arriving at noon-ish, set up RV, and make lunch
- Go in SUV and hit a few spots

Sunday:
- Hit yet even more spots

Monday:
- Hit a few more spots
- Start the trek home, with detours to:
Bozeman?(to drop off SUV at airport rental)
Spokane Car wash (to clean up RV)
Kenmore (to return the TV)
Goal: Reach home by Tuesday morning, hopefully before 10am.
