The LORD JESUS is my rock,
and my fortress,
and my deliverer;
my God, my strength,
in whom I will trust.
from PSALM 18, 2 (KJV)

Overnights

In order to stay within my budget, I tried to camp as often as I could. But it's not fun in the rain... nothing but wet camping! So I stayed in a few motels along the Rocky Mountains when I hit bad weather, and again in Florida, due to the lack of good camping spots. And campgrounds in Florida can cost up to $50... I could get a room with air-con for less than that! In the big cities, hostels were a good place to go... but sometimes it got a bit challenging bringing all my gear into crowded hostels.
