While people enjoy their escape from the crowded world, their overnight stays choices at the park becomes an interesting topic to me. According to my dataset from the US National Park Services, the following are some main overnight stays (recreational stay) options available: \r\n\r\n- Concessioner Lodging\r\n- Concessioner Campers \r\n- Tent Campers \r\n- RV Campers (Recreational-Vehicle Camping)\r\n- Backcountry Campers ('Backcountry camping means that you are not near the road or in a developed area. Typically sites can only be reached by foot or boat, often several hours of travel from any development.')\r\n\r\n\r\n## Summary\r\n\r\nThere are three main parts of my project:\r\n\r\n- Part 1: How Does the Number of Visits to the US National Parks Changed Overtime?\r\n\r\n- Part 2: What is people's favorite overnight stay options? How do the preferences change over time?\r\n\r\n- Part 3 : I haven't decided on this part yet, but I was thinking maybe I can bring in secondary data of the location (state) of the parks and see what's each state/region's most popular overnight stay option.\r\n\r\n\r\n## Details\r\n\r\n**Possible headline(s):** \r\nHow Overnight Stay Decisions at US National Parks Changed Over Time?\r\n\r\n**Data set(s):** \r\nhttps://irma.nps.gov/Stats/Reports/National\r\n\r\n**Code repository:** \r\nhttps://github.com/christina10211/Data-Studio/tree/master/code/02-Overnight_Stay_Decisions_at_National_Parks\r\n\t\r\n**Possible problems/fears/questions:** \r\ntechnical issue: I am having trouble changing numbers of ticks on my graph.
