I rode from Boston Ma to Naples Fla in '04...The worst stealth camping spot I ran into was a traffic island in Brooklyn. Slept well,but I got more than a few quizzical looks the next morning while packing my gear. The lady at the Drunkin Doughnuts gave me a free coffee that morning for being so "Ballsy"!! I had no problems at all the entire trip,tho stelth camping around NYC, and DC can be a "Bit" Sketchy. Once you are south of DC you have it made in the shade!!
