I love the idea of an underground map that shows the best places to Ninja
camp across the US. There have been some great suggestions on the list
before. Like one guy stated he parked at a parking lot for the fairy in NY,
paid parking lot yet cheaper than a NYC motel. Half the fun of a westy is
finding cool places to camp. We have driven into the backs of over grown
fields late at night, rest stops of course and at  every wedding we go to
we  stay in the parking lot of the Hotel where the reception is being held.
Recently though while in Atlantic City, late at night after a show the wife
was on the GPS navigating while I drove and suggested a decent size green
spot. We drove out of the city to the suburbs
to find a baseball field. I had a bad feeling about it ,but she insisted
we'll be ok if we tuck up against the big public works truck parked in the
lot. About 20 min after getting snuggled in the back we got the knock on the
side door. The officer was nice, yet stated " you can't stay here". Tired,
we drove off to hit the highway and got a few hours at the fist rest stop.
