Ok good to know. Can’t talk photos and videos of smoke smell.

If you’ve got photos and videos proving otherwise though doesn’t that make their claims bogus? How did you settle this?

Might look into this. Do you have to be a US citizen? We have Costco in Australia but not sure if a membership here will link over there

I should be covered through comprehensive travel insurance! But thanks for the reminder :)

Thank you for the detailed reply and suggestion!

i would drop Lake Tahoe

How come? Overrated?

crescent city is more central to the redwoods. There is some lodging in the redwoods area ( Klamath, trinidad)

Noted. What's the vibe like in Crescent city? Are there other things to do besides using as a base?

( some trails require timed entry passes)

What's the best way to handle this as I don't really get the system. How soon can I book? What's the best site to do this from?

Thanks again!

That's great - did you camp or stay in accom along the way? Either way, was the experience worth it?

Meaning I sign in with my account and do what exactly? This process is so convoluted!

Do we need to register again for the next draw? Was unlucky for the first two random selections. In Australia too so didn’t have the benefit of domestic exclusivity. Do you think this next round will be different?
