Default Where is the "overland" camping?

I find that the further away from the I90 and/or I5 corridor you
travel, the less people you run into. Also, the further away from
pavement, the rougher the road and the higher the elevation diminishes
the amount of people.

Of course if you can travel during the week, that makes things even
less crowded. I also tend to avoid holiday weekends if possible.

If you are willing to camp outside approved campgrounds, there are
plenty of possibilities. WDFW lands are great. Other areas I like are
the South Cascades, the Okanogan area of North Central Washington, and
Northeast Washington.

With the price of gasoline, more people will also be staying home than
before.

I know it's the holiday weekend so we may not responses until the
workweek returns, but I would also like to hear favorite places of
other forum members.
