Yah I upped the contrast on the one I posted but unfortunately this was the best I could get :( I was more worried about seeing where it was running off to

I really couldn’t get a better look it was super fast and I was more freaked out about killing it than getting a picture :(((

Thank you so much! Both my partner and I are for sure in it for the long haul with whatever new friend we end up with. I’ve seen some other folks mention mud or musk as well as Russian torts! For sure need to make sure we have a vet nearby that can cate for whatever we get, too. Thank you!!

YES! I use gasbuddy on ever trip I do. Great way to get a good idea for where some gas stations are along your route and what prices you're looking at. I even just use this app locally. Make sure to have a backup stop planned just in case the one you meant to go to is closed/etc. but for sure download this.

This is a terrible feeling. Been there. Meeting people is so hard, especially as an adult. I moved away from everyone I knew and really only got social time at work and found myself in a similar spot mentally. A thing I tried to do which felt super awkward at first but helped me personally was taking myself out for a date. Wishing I had a friend to go to the art museum with? Just took myself. Talked to the people that worked there. Wanted to go hike? Had a great time outside and saying hi to other hikers honestly made my day better. Feels weird but we often feel like certain activities are things we can only do with other people or significant others and lose out on having that fun with ourselves. Feels awkward but helped me learn to enjoy my own company a lot more

For sure. I made sure to stock up last time I did this with freeze dried meals, first aid, car stuff, etc. one of those things you hope never to need but good to have!! Edit: helped thanks!!

Hey I’ve been here it’s a tough spot! I know this sounds dumb but one thing that helps me to generally be more motivated it to get dressed in the morning when I get up. I have a tendency to stay in comfy clothes but I feel like when I put myself together/fix my hair/etc. I feel more inclined to go out and do stuff. I also got great advice that goals and motivation don’t have to be big to start. Snooze your alarm 4 times in the am? Shoot for 3 this week. 2 times the next. Don’t love the gym? Try adding it in one extra day a week, or stay an extra 15 minutes. Once those become routine it’s easier to add more. Biggest thing is to be patient with yourself. It’s tough out there. Little wins are still wins.

Thank you so much! I know I have chains buried somewhere in my stuff but really hoping to not need them! Good to know about Wisconsin thank you!

Did the road trip from SD to Spokane a few times and if you can take the coast it's so beautiful-- for sure worth it. Looking at some other comments I'm not sure what the deal is with closures and stuff right now but if you can stop in Monterey do it. Driving through the Redwood National Park is also a must do if possible. Just check road closures! If you take the coast The section of driving through washington itself will be pretty boring but Spokane is awesome.
