As luck would have it, the house I was renting sold, and I had to be out by April 1st. However, I wanted to work till the 8th to finish out the winter season. I'm sure I could've found a place to crash for that week, had I wanted to. Instead, I opted to move out on the 28th, store my big stuff at work, and sleep in the back of my truck for a week and a half.
At first it was strange not having "anywhere" to go, but I got used to it. I rode my bike with Lucy, went out to eat, and sometimes, stayed at the shop to shower, use the Internet, cook, etc. No one else stays late, so it was easy to go unnoticed. I even slept in the parking lot. For the weekend, I went south to Cortez to get in some Colorado mountain biking. It'll probably be the last time for a while.
I've come to realize that being homeless isn't always obvious. I was curious what my minimum comfort level would be, and I think I would at least need a slide in camper. I need a place to relax and cook, as well as a place to sleep. I would also need a source of heat, though I've been fairly comfortable even with temps into the twenties. I'm looking forward to staying put for a while and buying some things I've put off for the sake of moving ease, such as: a waffle maker, french press, other cookware, and of course more bikes.
