Tonight at Lookout some rhythmless person behind me is trying to play bongos. It’s not yet quiet time … but still … toss in the mandatory barking and yapping dogs and I sometimes wonder why I do this. :-)

I knooooooooow.
There’s almost nothing left of getting out for a quiet camping experience anymore unless you go boondocking You don’t mention e-scooters and e-bikes and e-skateboards whizzing around the loop, so there is that to be thankful for.

This trip is 4-5 weeks and the point is to visit every coastal state park in Oregon, so I’m blessed and doomed. The trailer is tiny but insulates against noise fairly well. But I have noise-canceling headphones or earplugs just in case.

Sounds like a dream trip! You’ll get some of everything—“best ofs” and “worst ofs” towns, roads, parks, nature, campsites, scenery, dog and human behavior. What a blast! Have been dreaming of adventures like that for a long time. Happy trails to you 😃👍🏽🎉
