You've got a jam-packed schedule there!

I think there may be a couple of days that are pretty strained for time. One that jumps out at me is Day 16. The last sailing for Victoria from Port Angeles requires that you be at the ferry by 1:00 pm with your car. This really won't give you time to do any exploration of the ONP.

You’re right, I did say this. However, after hearing from others I’m more understanding of your side. But the point still stands that, when posting publicly, opinions are just going to come in regardless. Block, mute, ignore, whatever. But being hostile isn’t necessary. OP is allowed to post whatever wherever, but others are also allowed and are going to comment, unsolicited or not.

Sorry, but no, you’re backpedaling. What you said was: “What is the purpose of posting art if you can’t take constructive criticism?“

This is the wrong place to have this conversation, but I will leave by saying that you have no defense here if you’re claiming that you were trying to start a dialogue with something that tone-deaf and that insulting.

I’m not saying it should be. I’m saying people are just going to comment, people are going to say things. Whether it is wanted or not, it’s what people do online especially with the benefit of being anonymous behind a screen. It’s not really avoidable when posting publicly. You can block or mute, but being hostile in return is not necessary when the original comment/intention was not hostile to begin with.

Is this not all the roads. Idk why it would have the roads north of the 530 some one which are not driveable and not have NF -23 , NF 49, or NF 29 which goes way the hell up Suattle River.

Ahh yes I understand that the feedback was probably well intended but it also must be frustrating and discouraging spending hours on an illustration to see someone telling you "you should do that" or "don't do that that way". I understand that the reply was harsh but OP has the right to express their anger too... Those kind of feedback can be very disheartening. (I think I'll handle them worst than OP if it were to happen to me ahah)

Looks like so much fun! The Olympics are incredible. A couple of additional ideas:

  • The Hoh rainforest is a magical wonderland
  • Rialto beach is beautiful
  • Hurricane Ridge may be worth the drive if it’s a clear day
  • The Quinalt Reservation has some cabins on the beach that are beautiful
  • Crescent lake is beautiful, there’s a great lodge you can stay at on the lake with individual cabins, the Lake Crescent Lodge. The drive around the lake is beautiful as well

Enjoy your trip! It sounds incredible

While I understand, when posting publicly online, people are going to simply give opinions whether requested or not. And while the comment was unsolicited, it didn’t seem mean spirited either. It was feedback. Unsolicited and unwanted, but still feedback. Replying hostilely the way OP did also was not necessary.
