favorite place to sleep?

i was livin under this bridge in the middle of downtown Little "crack" Rock, Arkansas for about a month. fuckin rad, soup kitchen a few blocks down, train tracks under the bridge down the hill from where i had my camp. Nice little urban hobo jungle... happened to be where i hopped my first train. I had big ass I beams on either side of me, supporting the road above... and protectin me from the elements, and the bulls and pigs. I think it was under 15th, maybe 14th St. anyways, rad place to bed down for a little while... that is if you can get over the fact that there is a high chance you couuld get mugged walkin to your bed every night.
 
Off some bike trail, there was a sandy river beach with trees and singing birds and even orchids on the path there. I'd hitch up my hammock and sleep there. It was really beautiful and serene, but I stopping sleeping there after a deranged vet tried to ambush me.
 
Dont get to many deranged vets in the LR area... just alotta fuckin crackheads, and crackhead prostitutes.
 
never made it there on my adventures in the east bay, but the first train i rode i ran into a girl who lived there. and a few friends have said really good things about it, so let me know how that goes, i definately want to go check it out next time i'm down there.

does that mean you're dpearting from the portland fun vortex?
 
Surprisingly enough, I slept like a log at the Ice House squat in Asheville. Despite the cold, despite the utter darkness (no windows, in the middle of a warehouse, complete darkness even in daylight, with no electricity, torches, or flashlights), despite the hobo-eating chupacabra, and the myriad of ghosts that cops warned us haunted the place haha

I slept like a fucking baby on valium.
 
anywhere with a nice view. Rooftops are nice. This one time i was sleeping in this treehouse/platform built really high in this liveoak, amazing view, in the greenbelt and i woke up with a raccoon about 6 inches from my head. ha
 
the beach
this one house down the road from my moms that they've been taking their time to build
and I've really wanted to sleep in this one persons yard....it's very well kept but there's a bunch of bushes on the side and it looks like a little bush cave.

yeah, i made it out of the vortex. next time you're in the east bay, if i'm still here, let's camp in the landfill, i've found a couple of nice spots. definitely one of my favorite places to sleep.
 
House on Stilts, NOLA. Had a lotta fun crackin' that place a couple years ago... Well, really, TFW were the ones to crack it, me and my friends were just the first ones there since. House on Stilts means NO FLOOD DAMAGE. Plus, 4 mattresses, couches, pots and pans, holiday decorations, and a SKEE BALL TABLE!? FROM THE GET-GO?!!? WHAT!??? Best squat ever.

One of these days I'm seriously gonna travel with a grappling hook and squat every roof I can.
 
[/B At the UP crew change in Van Buren, Arkansas you walk about two miles west along the tracks and there are countless caves to harbor in!
Many are real dry and for the most part free of larger mammals.

I'm with Wider on this one, Roof tops of skyscrapers are prefered, mountains are great, anything with a view, i think i must sleep with my eyes half open, and my sub-conscious likes it.
 
the tank at slab city, inside or outside the tiredome, a good sunset over the range, stars overhead, trains a couple miles away crossing the desert off and on throughout the night
 
!6th and Summit squat in Columbus Ohio 97-98
