Hi, I'm new here. My first post got deleted so I hope I have more luck with this one!!

I live in the area that Nicole's car was found. I am very familiar with the area being searched and the SNP in general.

If my local knowledge can be of help or resource to anyone, please feel free to ask

And that would mean Nicole did not drive into SNP to park her car.

So does that also mean she wouldn't have been on camera or anywhere noticeable to purchase a park pass? (Sorry im not local and trying to understand the layout of all this).
Also, is this parking place popular or off a distance from where others would normally park?

The White Oak Canyon parking is literally feet from the SNP boundary.

Correct, not a manned entrance station and no cameras. The parking place is a popular spot with other hikers parking their cars there.

Just push Edit post and you have a delete option.

Teenagers grab a backpack to runaway. Wouldn't there be some kind of evidence she was leaving long term missing from her home? She just has so much going on besides work, an upcoming event she was training for, and she doesn't have any kids. She could just pack up and leave, leaving a car to make it look like she got lost doesn't make much sense to me. I can see leaving her car to meet someone and something happened more likely, or abducted from the area between there and Warrenton.

Part of this map was used in outspoken311's previous post indicating where Nicole's car was parked.

I wanted to share this photo from WJLA it was from a 4pm news broadcast could not find a link for it but took a photo with my phone the reporter circled the search area and puts black dot where the exact location where the car was found thought this infomation might be useful ,.... Just for reference because the picture is kind of blurry it says Upper Hawksbill Parking & its looks like you would come in on route 608 to enter that particular lot

You have misinterpreted, Upper Hawksbill is on Skyline, it's the triangle to the left below Big Run Overlook. Your map (big dot) does confirm the location of the lower parking area for Old Rag/White Oak Canyon.
