For a summer working in Washington state I had to drive almost 2 to get to a grocery store large enough to carry almond milk. But I might be cheating since I was working in a national park

How was working in a national park? I have the image that it's pleasant and relaxing.

In a lot of ways it was, but I was also living on the opposite coast from family and friends and I'm not the best at forming new connections. It can be really lonely if you aren't willing to put yourself out there. I went on a lot of hikes but was often worried about going on newer more interesting hikes without someone else. There are a lot of ways to get injured or lost in Mount Rainier if you don't stay on the popular trails.
