    Jenny has more money than common sense. Leaving food in her vehicle overnight while sleeping with nets covering her windows is asking for trouble. :strong_no_smiley_emoticon:

    Yes, that totally shocked me!! Just asking for either an encounter with a person or an animal!!!!

    In Yosemite, they ask you to not keep food in your vehicle. The rangers go so far as to shine a light in your vehicle, no matter where you are staying. One of the hotels or campsites, both . I can’t imagine crater lake or bend Oregon is much different unless someone knows otherwise.? I will have to look it up.
    When we were in Yosemite, a bear actually broke into a vehicle in the parking lot of the ahwanee. Smashed the windows out, everything. The rangers really patrolled the area . ( the only reason we were at the ahwanee, is because it was a bucket list, not something we Normally do} and the rest of the time we camped at tuolumne meadows. . I’m just saying that being bear safe is so important, not only for your safety, but to keep the bears not used to humans.
    So I’m just flabbergasted that she hasn’t had an incident. Especially being alone.

    Correct. Bear aware means nothing with a scent in your vehicle or tent. To store it in campsite provided bear proof metal boxes or bear proof canisters preferably up a tree.

    Food, food wrappers (trash), deodorant, chapstick, toiletries, scented wipes, car air fresheners, etc.

    They will break into cars for the smell of a candy wrapper.

    Bear proof boxes are found in parking lots in Yosemite. Not just in campgrounds. Bears are a huge problem there.

    But they are a problem anywhere people were stupid and trained the bears that this is a place they can get food. Dumpster. Estes Park, Co they even enter homes and restaurants looking for food.

    Some NH campgrounds temporarily closed recently after bears breaking In vehicles or destroying tent camp sites looking for food.

    She will learn.

    I’m laughing at her dirt road. There are still unpaved roads in 2nd largest city in MA. With houses on them. I’m guessing everything is paved in her area.

    Dirt roads really easy to find where I live.

    I watch a ton of travel videos from all kinds of people. I quit at 6 mins because she hasn’t shared a single fact about where she is. I don’t even think she said the name. Or name of trail. Just signs. No facts or info from info center. All about her exercise and how she’s handling the trail.

    So she basically went there to exercise. Not to learn anything. Not to teach us anything. Just to exercise and talk about exercise.

    Terrible travel blogger!!!!!!

    I will be in Vermont a month from now. Do I need to hunt down Nick and knock some sense into the poor guy?

    I’m starting to think that the only way Don ever caged Jen was that she felt she was expected to shower and shampoo daily when she was married. And now she’s free. And greasy and smells.

    We have no idea but Don could have done some sort of speed dating before meeting Tens. You can rule out a bunch of people quickly that way. Or maybe they used a matchmaker. All kinds of ways of meeting your next relationship and saving years of shopping around and trying things on for size.

    I’m scrolling right past all this arguing shit. I don’t come here for that. Stop engaging with the posts. Just ignore then.

    Her current IG story. It’s not her past she’s having trouble with. It’s her present. And I don’t think she even thinks about future.

    Interesting first video on Eva zu Beck's new Unplugged YT channel: I Don't Ever Want To Be a Mother. Here's why.

    This is who Jenny seems to be trying to emulate recently with her truck camping lifestyle

    We are approaching 60 and I remember trying to convince people I knew what I wanted when I said I didn’t want to have kids. And we didn’t have any. And I don’t regret it. I have absolutely no maternal instinct. I love animals but don’t care at all about babies or kids at all.

    That’s called an exercise addiction when you can’t follow drs orders to not do it.

    Or just plain stupid. Why go to the dr if you won’t follow their trained expert advice?

    Eva ZuBeck has a ton more experience than Jen will ever have.

    If I was camping next to her, I would totally be grateful she was not opening car doors at 5am, setting up metal cook stove, using a pot on it to heat water and stirring metal cup with a metal spoon. And talking to her camera outside. Voices and noises carry in campgrounds. I like my sleep. Even the 10pm-7am quiet time rules in campgrounds is too early for me but I understand people need to start making breakfast.

    We too have ways to make coffee and breakfast in our squaredrop trailer quietly without making noise outside.

    I can’t imagine why she wouldn’t use the campground showers. Even most state park campgrounds have showers. I don’t think she is staying at places that only have pit toilets.

    And while I’m past the age of having periods, I just cannot imagine going any length of time while on period without washing up. Even as a former menstrual cup user where everything is contained inside, you still want to clean yourself daily!!! I just can’t even imagine. The cup is loved by active outdoor enthusiasts and is absolutely doable on long thru hikes and you are able to stay clean down there. I don’t think she knows what soap and water is.

    I can’t imagine taking 3 weeks and all those steps just to get to my destination. And she’s driving far too many miles / hours per day!! With no breaks! Completely unsafe!!! She’s going to fall asleep at the wheel if she keeps this up day after day.
