Thanks Jeff (Ohio) for the offer .. I suggest you join the HU community (or make one if there is not one in your area) .. that is the usuall meassage thingy when travellers are passing through .. sometimes in trouble (sick, tired, crashed, drive train etc) and need help, advice .. or even just some other biker to talk to.
r.j.y - all travellers are interested in reducing their costs ... so free camping is a choice some make ..
For the church .. there should be a sign out the front saying who the pastor is .. and some contact details ? I'd try not to stay over the weekend - they can get noisy!

www.couchsurfing.com
Have a look at couchsurfing.com
IN the spirit of the traveler...A website listing people that have a spare couch/bed to crash on. You do a search for the area, have alook at the people listed find someone that sounds like they're on your page and give them a email... Sometimes you'll get a free guide for the area and a nice home cooked meal..... not always.. but every bit helps stretch the budget!

Adv List..
DLBiten is spot on.. have a look on advrider.com they have had a list of folks willing to put up fellow bikers and its also a great resource for local knowledge.
If you have your route sorted for the most part, then a post of two can help secure you the odd night free and some local guiding about to find the best roads and sights to see. Local knowledge is always best for finding those hard to locate places and quiet spots imho..
And don't forget the site if you run into problems of a mechanical nature, a good set of folks out there who usually able to point our parts sellers, mechanics etc..
All the best..
John

Many times BLM and National Forest land can be camped on for free. Look them up on the internet for rules and locations. Campgrounds sometimes charge a fee but most places you can just camp anyplace (non campground) for free.

I mostly set up camp after dark and leave early in the morning and in a dozen times camping I haven't had any real problems camping all over the west.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
