Lost 2 hours of star trails to a car's headlights

Set up my camera at a pullout near Mount Rainier last weekend for a 3 hour timelapse of the Milky Way. About 90 minutes in, some guy parked right next to me and left his high beams on for 10 minutes while he fumbled with his gear. Ruined half the frames with this orange glow streak across the bottom. I moved my tripod 30 feet deeper into the lot and restarted, but I only got 45 clean minutes before clouds rolled in. Anyone else have a plan for scouting spots that are actually away from car traffic at popular overlooks?
