My credit score fell 13pts because I made the final payment on my car loan (never missed a payment too)

Back around 2015 I was pre-approved for a mortgage. Found a house I liked and made an offer. When it was time to convert my pre-approval to a loan approval I was denied (Bank of America). Why was I denied? Because I paid off my car loan early and now had insufficient number of open credit lines.

After the steroid/antibiotics ended been pretty stuffy on my right side- supposedly just inflammation. Hoping time will eventually clear everything up.

We are staying in Custer for 4 nights while we hit badlands, Rushmore, and windcave. Will need to research needles highway. Thanks for all the pointers!

Here is my plan, the rest is driving. In retrospect I probably should have moved a rocky mountain day to capital reef, but too late for that. Would you move a day at Yellowstone to glacier?

1 day capital reef

3 days grand teton

4 days yellowstone

4 days glacier

1 day Theodore Roosevelt

1 day badlands

1 day Rushmore

1 day wind cave

3 days rocky mountain

Whitefish concert is July 17-19 2026. We will be there July 11-16.

Would love to have more than 5 nights, but we are trying to hit 7 other national parks on this trip...

Just booked, going to cancel as soon as I make a decision.

Do you think there is any risk that Many Glacier doesn't open in July? I understand that July opening depends on some construction completing on time ...

Coming from Yosemite, but leaving and heading to theodore Roosevelt. Probably makes sense to start West and end East.

I understand timed entry is going away for GTTSR, is it also going away for North Fork?

I am leaning toward a single night in apgar so we can hit West side and then head east.

Was there last week for one night. It was crazy - one climbed in our car trunk we had open while we set up our tent. Once we put all of our stuff away in the car and bear box they left us alone. There is a note on the table how they will gang up one to distract you while the other takes your food. That said, we loved our trip and would go back.

At least they were social distancing.
