My gf and I have 4 days off work this Thursday thru Sunday. We live in LA.
We have permits to go overnight backpacking to 1000 island lake in the eastern sierras. We started talking about just taking off and instead of going to 1000 island lake just throwing our gear on the truck and go explore without a set plan. I always wanted to visit Oregon. The farthest north I've been is Big Sur.
We have to be back on Sunday night and I'd like to camp outside at least one night. We can start driving Wednesday night and drive through the night taking shifts.
Any reccomendations?
I was looking at crater lake in Oregon but it'd be cool to check out all the cities too.
Seeing some huge as redwood trees sounds good too.

you're in LA, i wouldnt bother driving that far north when theres cool shit closer to you. awesome trailhead here 36.794855, -118.584907. theres pleanty to explore in the sierras. if you're just looking for a drive then yeah oregon would be cool.

looks like you can drive right up to a bad ass swimming hole.
considering la-crater lake is 13 hours each way i'd save that adventure for a longer block of time than 5 days.

If we leave Wednesday at 6pm and drive 8 hours until 2am.. crash 4 or 5 hours then drive from 7am Thursday we can be there Thursday afternoon. If we hed back Saturday afternoon we can be back by Sunday evening with and spend more than a whole day at crater lake and ample time to drive and rest

>spend most of 4 days driving
>1 real day of fun
sounds terrible to me, but if it sounds good to you don't let my opinion stop you.
i'd rather drive <4 hours to kings canyon or the sierra eastside and get to spend almost the full 4 days playing, and save oregon for sometime i have a full week and can spend a good 5 days exploring.

>not making the drive in one go between 2 people
Why even drive cars?

i agree with this. i would rather spend most of the time camping being /out/ than driving.
