That's right, if you find yourself wanting to do some hill climbing or buildering in south Florida, and you sleep in your car, expect to see some bars.

On the upside, I dont think homeless people exactly care. It is hard to be concerned with breaking the law when you dont really have anything to loose.

Oh the irony.

No place to sleep? We'll give you a bed on the taxpayer's dime.

It's like charity, but different.

Many cities have homeless ordinances, and its hard to look at some dirt bags and tell the difference from a homeless person.

Denver has an urban camping ban.

I was told it's technically illegal to sleep in a car in California.

Doesn't laying out a triple mad pad in the back of subaru satisfy the legal definition of an RV?

It is totally deserving to the state of Florida and it's Bush-fixed elections, to not have any decent rock at all for climbers to visit. Their loss not enjoying our status and free spending cash. Don't want to dirtbag down there in the first place.

No big loss - I wouldn't wish Florida on my worst enemy.

Not illegal to sleep in your car in Cali. Not sure how much $$ Florida would miss from dirt baggers not visiting. A dirt bagger with money is kind of an oxymoron

"Three hots and a cot." The biggest hill in FL is rest stop, formerly known as a landfill. It's probably not gonna be a huge problem with climbers.

If you would like to discuss "dirtbagging [being] illegal," let's talk about the NPS.

Well it is common knowledge that America is fast becoming a police state.

Why on earth would anyone ever want to be in Florida? I mean really!

The skiing and rock climbing SUUUUCKS there!
