theres so many bums / crackheads out there i would avoid anything under stairs by a trail. if you have a tarp you can sleep virtually anywhere in any weather. whenever im in spokane im not there to be in spokane but to switch to junk, wbd or east, and just stand my pack up against something sturdy near the hopout, anchoring the tarp over it — anywhere decent away from trails and bridges.
not bc spokane is all that dangerous but bc the further away from nighttime foot traffic the better the sleep
