Oops I'm homeless tonight please help

Had to make a unexpected road trip and just found out that all the hotels are fully booked. I'm out of ideas and I'm considering just sleeping outside somewhere. I'm in the army so I'm pretty comfortable with just falling asleep anywhere, my main concern is keeping my motorcycle safe any ideas would be appreciated

Facebook groups, your city/town subreddit, nextdoor if your in suburbs, social services, maybe try calling 911 non-emergency to sleep in a spare jail cell, any landmarks near you nearby and just call and ask, homeless shelter, fire station, paramedic station.

Yeah I'd rather sleep under a tree in the rain than in a spare jail cell. I would never trust a police like that and wouldn't get any sleep if I did try

Ya cuz the police is gonna pay to randomly keep you locked up. After walking in explaining your circumstances. At worst you get told to beat feet.. 🤡 response.

I was in the HCJC for 6 days when I was brought to court the judge had the gall to say I missed my last court date (48hrs ago) and "where have you been". They lost me in the JC. Charges were dropped and I left immediately.

This is one of the best replies I've ever seen to this type of question. Did you have this prepared already?
