If you really want a shower, go to a truck stop or if you don't mind showering outside, go to a beach at a lake or the ocean and use the showers they put there for rinsing the sand off. You can also stop at swimming pools and for the price of a swim, you can shower in the pool showers.
Machka, Having just rode the Northern Tier last summer and spent most nights in state campgrounds..... I never once came across this. Is this a Canadian thing or other parts of the US?
