Asheville Bound

Soon I will be squatting the streets and trees of Ashevillle within the next week. Anybody out there who is fluent in the area? It has been a while since I have surfed the urban concrete waves and I would really be appreciative of any info. BTW, this site kicks ass and is a great resource of information...glad to be a part of this community.

watch out for the cops..... they really dont like the homeless folks sometimes there..........firestorm cafe is a good place to hang out and meet interesting people (and stuck up anarcho-hipsters) best bet for camping is awayfrom downtown.... theres an area by the wal-mart along the "river" with nice wooded areas and shit.... i only slept in dumb spots or houses the times i've been there.....find the cool lookin folks and ask them .......... if you hitch outta town in any direction and are careful not to encroach on someones property there's endless camp opportunities..... maybe others will be more helpfull.....maybe i'll see ya there sometime this summer

Thanks for the heads up and I believe you are correct when you say they don't like the homeless...I think camping is going to be my norm, so the walmart idea might be a good plan of action, but I have always got my jeep to fall back on during the really cold nights. Cheers cya this summer if come through.
