I’ve had this idea bouncing around my head that a network of people (mostly of the pagan persuasion) could be put together to host people in transit. Mainly I see this as an opportunity for people to travel and see the wonders of our planet without the extreme cost that is involved in getting a place to sleep and shower. Camping is how Jill and I do it, yet it is still expensive (KOA charges up to 25 dollars for a simple camp spot). Even the forest service charges way to much to pitch a tent (18 dollars a night at Lake Powell). If some people were willing to host a place for sleeping and showering for a night or two it would greatly reduce the cost of travel. This works well in Europe.

The following web site is a good read on ‘The traveler’.
