that an older, tired, homeless and distressed looking fellow on a bicycle was hanging around a campground and he (the sheriff) was just checking on me

Fun trip. Lost 20 lbs. Montana (home) took a long time to get out of. Got my first Century Ride in. Very happy with the trip.
Thanks,

This brings up a point, how does one avoid looking homeless while bike touring?
And "hanging around a campground? Uh, how does one camp without hanging around**********
Glad all went well for the most part.
