not being sarcastic
sleeping under no soliciting signs is always funny

flat topped buildings, like retail stores, are great, as long as there are no taller buildings around (then you might be seen!).

abandoned/empty buildings are my favorite.
once i found a motel that had been shut down. i checked some of the doors and found one unlocked. had a free hotel to myself for the night. no electricity but the room was warmer than it was outside and the bed was comfortable. got up early and made the bed all nice like i was never there. left no trace.

home depot and lowes sheds have saved my ass from the rain so many times .....me and my girl found a two story barn-type one in newport news we lived in for a few days ......and it seems like anywhere there is a "no trespassing dept. of transportation. " sign by the highway theres usually a good camp spot near it

Man i miss the levee in SC, just gotta watch out for homebum shit, sucks washing yer pants in the metro bathroom, though heartily greeting everyone that walks in while your standing there washing your pants in the toilet while in yer boxers was a hilarious occasion.

havent seen it mentioned on this post, but cities and bridges especially, always check for use needles/rigs before you sit/stretch out. Also, watch out for human/animal waste, you cant always smell it till its too late.
