I'm doing it. I'm actually doing it! Last night was my first night out on the streets of Aliso Viejo. I stashed a bunch of stuff at work in my file cabinets, loaded up Teeny Greeny with all of my clothes and food, then locked myself up inside Shadow, the 4Runner. I left a window cracked, put up shades on all the windows, tucked myself into my foam bed, and drifted to sleep to the hum of late night traffic just outside. I admit, it was a little cramped. I didn't have time to organize everything and despite giving away a ton of crap, I still have a truckload of stuff. I'll clear out more space for tonight to really fine tune the experience.
I thought I would be freezing my butt off, but I slept for most of the night with just a sheet! My sleeping bag sat in a lonely roll an arm's length away, wishing it was cold enough for me to give it some attention. Waking up to the gentle buzz of my silent alarm clock was a relief because it signaled the success of my first night out, one of many.
Vagabond Tip of the Day: Make sure you check for passers-by before you step out of a car wielding a toothbrush and wearing a terry-cloth bathrobe.
