I have made no secret that I find state parks in California, Oregon, and
Washington to be really sucky. They are overly-manicured and crowded.
"Cheek by jowl" camping is how I've referred to them in the past and I
stand by my opinion. Can't stand them. To us, the lower the population
density, the more primitive, the fewer amenities, the quieter and more
secluded and the prettier they are, the nicer they are. Park us
overlooking a lake without some yahoo running a generator and playing
music nearby and we are very happy.

So this summer, Mrs Squirrel and I have an opportunity to take a
twelve-night trip from our home in Bend, Oregon.

We could go east, stay in the U.S., visit Idaho, Montana, Wyoming; stay
in quieter USFS campgrounds and wash up in small town motels; or we
could head on a generally north by northwest course sorta-kinda up
towards Seattle then to places unknown.

Anyone got any perspective or suggestions on this? Y'all can pmail me so
as not to chew up list bandwidth.
