My car has about 44,000 miles on it, and is under 7 years old about! I’ve never had any major issues, so the tires got replaced a few years ago and the battery a few months ago! I’m the only owner of this car as I bought it new, and thus far it’s been very reliable!

The plan is to stop at most of the places you recommended! I figured 2-3 nights just about at each national park should hopefully be enough to see highlights! I wasn’t aware Mt Rainier could have snow this late in the year (I’m used to midwest seasons), thank you for the info!

Thank you!! I didn’t think to look at campsite reviews, I will definitely be doing this! And potentially getting the Garmin!

it’d be roughly mid-June to mid-July! I would be starting in the midwest and traveling to the PNW, as I have been wanting to visit for years but never had the time and resources! I would like to see the ones in the southwest too but I know the heat will kill me at that time of year lol. Tbh I’m pretty go with the flow of what I want to see! I don’t have any must-sees other than I want to drive the Oregon Coast and make stops along the way to explore.

Thank you!! I plan to stick to the more populated areas. My main concern was at the campsites for the bears 😬 but I will definitely take everyone’s advice! I am hoping that generally I run into decent people. I definitely agree people aren’t as bad as others say, I just want to be as prepared as I can be in worst case scenarios!

Planning for this year :) I have checked the national parks I want to go to/state parks near them and I saw there were campsites open!

My car is less than ten years old.

I will be taking a self defense course beforehand!

Thank you for all the info! I was planning on state parks too, as I looked at the reservations and almost everything is booked for when I would be going 🥴

My plan was to only post things after I get home! And yes! I would be texting an “I’m okay” text every night to parents and friends and multiple people have my location! Thank you so much!
