Bivi off I5 enroute to Yosemite?

[wimsey]

Is there a good free sleeping spot close off I5 between Shasta and Sacramento? A place where one could sleep on the ground near the car between 11pm and 5am without much chance of being hassled. Thanks!

Depends on how "close off I-5" you want to be. I frequently sleep off the Mt. Shasta highway (road to Bunny Flats) just a few miles up the mountain out of Shasta. Every time I've been there (non-summer) the campgrounds are empty, quiet, and free. There are some side roads that lead a short distance into the woods as well. This is probably a 10 to 15 minute drive off I-5 for a quiet safe place to sleep.

The DNR land near Klamath Falls is great for a Midway bivi. But that's assuming you go down Hiway 97, which I like so much more than I-5.

That's good info about Shasta.
