View attachment 520087 I was in Forks earlier today. Still no power (or street light), so had to use the Level 2 charger for a top up to get to Aberdeen.

If you make it out here and it's a sunny day, you should definitely do the drive and short hike (about a mile) out to Cape Flattery, the NW corner of the US. It is an amazing place. You'll also get a good view of Tattoosh Island and its lighthouse.Any updates? I’m an elementary teacher now stuck doing online ed at home. I’m planning on doing a national park tour for my students in these next two months. Car camping in the SR+. Planning on social distancing and staying at KOA’s to charge overnight. My hope was to go from Colorado through some national parks up to the PNW. If this is online, I’d love to highlight the tip of America for my students.
You may get a view of Tatoosh Island. I’ve piloted a boat through that passage and could only see Tatoosh on the boats radar. Even on a sunny day, there’s often a boundary layer just off the coast.If you make it out here and it's a sunny day, you should definitely do the drive and short hike (about a mile) out to Cape Flattery, the NW corner of the US.

Parking paint is done and so is the overhead light fixture. Still no power though.

Washington State Government is closed until further notice which includes WA L&I who will be performing the final inspection.
Most KOAs are still open. Check the frequently updated KOA website for current closures, then call individual KOA campgrounds not on the closure list to learn their current partial closures and restrictions. I stayed at the Los Banos, CA, KOA (along I-5, 4 mi. south of the Gustine SC) Saturday night. Shower house was closed but one small restroom was open. My first experience with Camping Mode, which worked nicely.Can you even stay at KOAs now?
How was the sleeping? I’m trying to figure out how to best level out my model 3 rear seat folded. The angle is too steep to be comfortable for my hip for several hours. I’m thinking of stacking cardboard or lots of blankets to try to even it out.Most KOAs are still open.

I'm happy to wander off-topic this time to share my experience. Those sound like good ideas. Definitely get your nest as flat as you can. I am a pre-M3 fossil (love your car) and so drove my MX, which has a flatter rear deck. An air mattress, sleeping bag, and thick pillow held up by behind-the-front-seat cargo sufficed, although the air mattress was the thinner back-packing sort. Thicker padding would have been better, but that was what I had.How was the sleeping? I’m trying to figure out how to best level out my model 3 rear seat folded.

Video from @jonco223 on how to remove the rear seat bench in the Model 3 so that the rear area is much flatter. The bench will then fit in the footwell area. The only concern is that you need to put something down to protect the seat back material from being marked or damaged by the metal structure under the bench when the seat backs are laid flat.How was the sleeping?

Thanks! This is all great info for us coronavirus campers, and I guess it gives a few us of something to do while waiting for this SC to open , but I'm feeling guilty. Anyone know if there's a camping thread to move over to?Video from @jonco223 on how to remove the rear seat bench in the Model 3 so that the rear area is much flatter.
