If she was a grown woman in her 40s...then, I might think different. The chances are a young girl in her 20s does not have a whole of of financial resource probably...and that means taking chances like stealth camping, taking short cuts, and cheap motels.

Chances are she will be okay, but I wouldn't allow my daugter to take a chance like that.
