[pct-l] No Zeros in Motels

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

An option you may consider, especially if town is too far from the  
trail for an easy in-out or in the event you have to layover waiting  
for mail, is to stealth camp in town. This works better in some towns  
than others. I found that to be the best of all worlds. Easy access  
to food yet I still slept outdoors in my tent where I was used to it.  
Depending on the town, I was pretty much in the same kind of forest  
as the trail. Shh, don't tell anybody because some people might not  
approve of this.
