Good advice. Might also post on the Forum for suggestions from the "Brothers and Sisters" on best routs and best places to eat and stay.

Tent in the backyard, a spot in the garage absolutely. But like others have said there's no way I'm letting total strangers sleep in my house. Hell the way I sleep, you could steal the furniture out of my bedroom without me waken up.

40 years ago it wasn't that unusual. You would stop past some shop around or related business late afternoon and say something like "Where's a good local place for the night?" Nine times out of ten or so you could end up at the dealers house or throwing your blanket roll on some wrenches living-room floor. Had more than a few people sleep on my couch here and there over the years. These days I don't know as how I would do it unless the person was already known to me. Just too many X-factors out there.

I would never ask a stranger if i could stay in their house, for most it would be to weird for them, and even when i have been invited inside, it was to weird for me. However i have camped in back yards, and will generally let people camp in mine after i meet them and feel ok about it.
