Ron,
I can't give you much advice from Arkansas going up, but can give you some insight into things in Wyoming. First, I think you'll find highways in Wyoming are very good, compared to other states, so I wouldn't worry about two lane roads. However, I would try to avoid I-80. It's pretty crazy anymore. If you go north on I-25, you have some choices when you hit Casper. Going west from Casper, you have about 100 miles of pretty desolate country to Shoshoni. Going north from Shoshoni, you go through Wind River Canyon to Thermopolis, which makes up for the drive from Casper. Then, on up through the Big Horn Basin to Cody. Or, you can continue up I-25 through Kaycee (pronounced K C) to Buffalo. Going west from there goes over the Bighorns to put you out in the Big Horn Basin. You can also continue north of Buffalo (joining I-90) to Sheridan. Both Buffalo and Sheridan are very nice towns. From Sheridan, you can go to the Ranchester exit over the Bighorns. There is a junction on top and you can go left to Greybull, or go right to Lovell. Going to Lovell is more scenic, in my opinion. When in Cody, I highly recommend a day trip over Bear Tooth Pass. I don't know if you're old enough to remember Charles Kuralt, but he traveled the U.S.A. in a motorhome and had a show on CBS titled, On The Road With Charles Kuralt. He said that highway was the most scenic drive in the lower 48. From Cody, take highway 120 (becomes 72 at the Montana border) to Belfry, Montana. In Belfry, (Yes, their high school mascot is a bat!) take 308 to Red Lodge. Red Lodge is unique town. Highway 212 will take you over Bear Tooth Pass, elevation 10,947 feet. Continue until you meet up with the road (296) that takes you back to Cody. It has several names - Crandall Road, Chief Joseph Scenic Byway, or the non PC version (original) Dead Indian Highway. When you get to Sunlight Gorge, there is a parking area on the south side of the bridge and you can walk out on the bridge. The gorge is 1,200 feet deep. This is a day trip and truly is a gem missed by many.
You may already know this, but you need to bring some warm clothes. At higher elevations, you might experience some cool temperatures, or even a snow storm. Enjoy your trip and let us know how it all works out!
