Unusual places you have stayed the night.
I submitted this question to a motorcycle / camping website and received several interesting stories about where people have spent the night. We are of the same ilk; my 6 1/2 foot motorcycle trailer f...

In the sticks its easy to find good camping, but in a big urban city you have to get creative. Here is a shot from an urban campsite we setup in Chicago. The mill was abandoned and had a small established hobo camp in one of the outbuildings. We opted to stay clear of them and utilized a ladder we found and re-positioned to climb up to a higher level and make our way to the roof. We were able to pull the ladder up to prevent anyone from sneaking up there after us. I woke up to this sunrise and had to capture it.

I have spent several other nights on rooftops, in caves, and even a few nights in abandoned buildings. With the camper we have stayed everywhere from downtown city streets to coastal pullouts to amazing remote places that we accessed via seldom used single lane forest roads. Here is a shot from a really cool remote forest road system in the Olympic National Forest. Why people pay money to camp in crowds when you can camp in beautiful remote places like this for free will always puzzle me.
