Union Club in Victoria is very classy, old school accommodations. Recommend highly.

That doesn't mean the main street needs to be a parking lot.

Strong Towns has a lot of research and material on how smaller towns like this can build more economically viable communities by avoiding this type of development. Particularly relevant here: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2020/9/4/seven-key-differences

Absolutely beautiful, that lighting is spectacularly executed! I feel like I can learn a lot as an artist myself just by looking at it :)

I think I've had similar frustrating issues in the past. It might just be the site.

Yeah, that Vancouver island trip sounds ambitious unless you plan on flying to Tofino. Vancouver to San Juans in one day is a stretch too, with ferries (San Juan ferry is in Anacortes, not Bellingham) and border crossing. But it sounds like a fun trip nonetheless!

Hi friend, when I was younger I used to take critique personally as well. But as you get older, you will learn that they did not mean to "Attack" you in any way, constructive feedback is just that, critique. You can choose to let it eat you alive or choose to ignore it.
If you have rejection sensitivity please consider seeking help from a mental health professional if you have not already. Getting another person's perspective in my work was actually helpful for me as I continue to advance my career and grow as an artist. I apologize if I have inadvertently hurt your feelings but you must learn to manage critique and unwelcome comments. Wish you all the best and have a nice day!

and somehow, still not nearly enough.

My middle school teacher told me that the Incas built roads as well. Advanced societies, build roads. Thought I’d share that for some reason.

Yeah, so the area around Wenatchee is largely rural and the trains from Quincy and Waterville don’t run all that often. People need to get into town somehow.

Same with orcas… apparently you can’t drive from the the landing to Eastsound or to doe bay

Impressed with northeastern Washington, but deeply unimpressed with western Washington lol. All of the San Juans are broken.

Hopefully you love sitting in a car and driving a lot. Day 16 is probably gonna not work out the way you want. I'd suggest writing down the total hours driven per leg and see if that's what you want out of a trip.

That looks like a parking lot to me.

There's that one Fred Meyer that only seems accessible via the highway. If you think of it as a really inconvenient rest area, it kind of makes sense.

Onp is massive and not really a 1 day thing. Someone else mentioned the coho sailing schedule to Victoria and that time of year you’d only have 2 sailings to choose from. I would say that your day 16 is unrealistic.

NF-23 is what I noticed as well!

Sounds like a fun trip! Vancouver Island is great but it’s MASSIVE. I’d highly suggest either just hanging out in Victoria which is a cool town. Or skip it altogether and spend more time in the Olympics. There is literally nowhere else on Earth like the Hoh River valley, and Hurricane Ridge is epic. In my experience, everything takes longer than you think it might and I personally would rather spend a little more time at some cool places than so much time in the car.

They shut this down during covid, it's our land and I thought it was good they were there, but they left garbage, so if they're leaving waste on the lake and doing it illegally it pisses me off.

No one cared if it was illegal… be free.

Wow that’s quite a trip! If I may suggest, take one of your Portland days and add it to the Olympic NP. The park is huge, and you won’t even scratch the surface in one day (or two for that matter). As a fan of a nice road trip, I’m jealous… have a fun and safe trip!

Looks like this map is picking up some trails too. You can clearly see the Wonderland Trail circumnavigating Mt. Rainier. Same deal with the dotted like going halfway around Adams, and you can see the Pacific Crest Trail almost continuously from White Pass all the way to Canada.

You weren’t downtown then. Sounds like the North end of town just as you enter town. Downtown Wenatchee looks like this

Camano Island famously has no roads.
