On the road

This spot is OK in a pinch but it is right on the highway, super loud when cars go by and for some reason multiple trucks honked as they went by while in was there, despite being tucked away in the trees as deeply as possible (not very). Not sure if it is private land or what but not super enjoyable.

Last resort

This is on us forest land and the pullout is large enough to park a distance from the road. Winter time be careful. Came in April and it was covered in snow and ice- may need traction pads/chains.
