I don't know how to start off by anything more real. Sometimes we're out of our element and caught with our pants down. We hope we can make it butt sometimes we adapt to our surrounding's.
As I go too different location's I see it all sometimes more than I'd ever want to remember. I'm now working my way up the ladder in finding the right places. What are the right places- sometimes holding it, thats not always the case.
Here's what I've found.

Rest Stops off the Freeway
We pass them more than we probably realize in our travels. I stopped at this one off rt.70. The Heat was on and this place was Clean. The enclosed bunker entrance seemed tuff enough to withstand the harshest of condition's Colorado could throw its way. Ample Parking for both Cars and 18 wheelers

After my avalanche course, a 3 day stay in the San Juan Mountains I needed to get cleaned up. The north side of town in Durango,Co. not only can you wash your clothes but hot showers with are available as well. Laundry mats are a good spot to charge devices while waiting as well as catching up on Logs or whatever catching up you need in your down time. They usually have local bulletin boards with events, for sale ad's, & people to chat with about the best local spot to get some food and brews. I found another laundry mat with hot showers in Essex Park just outside of the Rockey Mountains.
Those cases I had mentioned about not wanting to remember. Here's a prime example. Sometimes the local Punk bar is the closest around but it might not be the place I'm going to "drop a load off at!" Instead I might choose to find a Fast food joint instead.
Finding a Bathroom from Construction Site Port-O-Potty's, Food Stores, Starbucks, Wal Marts, Libraries, etc .. They are available and out there.
Showers sometimes are a bit more tricky to locate. A list of places i tend to look for when I need to shower are: YMCA's, Wrec Centers, Gyms, Marina's, Hostels, & Camp sights are a good starting point. When actual showers aren't an option we do still have Choice! How's that you ask.....wet wipes can help for starters. There cheap and do the trick when we really need it most. Portable Solar Showers Bags- hang it in the sun & after a day of hiking you have warm water to shower with. Rivers, Lakes, or other natural water sources work as well- Just don't soap up in the water source- it's not fair to the fish or other animals amongst other reasons I think we're aware of.
