Indoor Plumbing

Imagine this: you're out shopping somewhere and your body informs you that you need to find a restroom, fast! Where to go? I face this situation every day; in the morning when I get up until it's time to find another parking lot and get some sleep. How about when you wake up in the middle of the night and need to go? Finding a bathroom at 3am is little more tricky and a bit of a hassle so I give bathroom details top priority when I'm looking for a place to sleep.

I like stopping at a MickeyDs' in the morning when I have enough money for a cup of coffee. Their bathrooms are generally pretty clean but there is only one stall and it seems like there's always someone using it when I go in there.

Showers: I was doing some demolition work earlier this summer and I'd be covered in grime and sweat by the end of the day. "Insiders" just drive home, jump in the shower and get cleaned up. I would have to call a friend and ask if I could come by and take a shower. Then I'd have to drive over there. There were a few days when I didn't get too dirty that I could put off taking a shower for another day but it didn't happen very often.

My wife suggested you check truck stops - they apparently all have showers. I'm sure they're not free, but at least they'd be available 24x7.
