Summer, or when I finish college. Most people go on road trips. I will just do a road trip to the EXTREME. And I dunno if any of my friends would dare go with me, so I'd basically be a roaming homeless guy.
Edit: But with money.
Either that or I'd just disappear into the woods for a week or two and see if I can survive with only a knife.

Unless you're planning on filming it, I would say you're wasting your summer.

Amazing idea but I have no idea how I would recharge batteries and it would take a massive amount of film/flash cards/whatever else you were using.
True. Bring a back-pack with a ton of batteries and cards. As for the law, it depends on where you live. You would have to do some local research as well as researching the laws of your destination.

Then, the summer of 2005, and 2006 were wasted for me.
 Depends on where you live. City & state laws differ from city to city and state to state. Here in Cleveland it's illegal to sleep anywhere other than residential or camping area.
 They can get you for tresspassing or loitering. Normally nobody will press charges nor will the police arrest unless it's constant occurance. The police won't detain or press charges. They will just throw you out and if they have to keep coming back they will press charges and incarcerate.

Good thing I live in New York, the only thing cops can do against sleeping in public is trying to roam the subway. Central Park and Grand Central are full of drifters at night.

 Sure, there are places in every metropolis in which the stragglers collect. In this case law enforcement lets it slide because it's just too much hassle to go down there every 24 hours and round them up. They have real crime to deal with. They can't be wasting any of their time, man power, or cell space rounding up all of the homeless. I'm sure it's illegal especially in NY city and state, but they don't have the capability to enforce it. Most of New York's patrol divisions effort and time is focused on real crime and there is not a place to relocate all of them nor enough expendable cell space to detain them. It's not feasible. So it slides. I'm sure if crime was low and patrol would be rounding them up. That's the way it goes. More important crime are attened to first and an excess of serious crime puts the petty crimes on hold.
 New York is in limbo with this because the homeless rate is high and there isn't enough shelters so the people have no where to go.

Forgot about; - 47th St. - 7th St. - N. Broadway. - 10th Ave. - Amsterdam Ave. - 43rd St.? Public streets, where drifters sleep at night? Seems to me that the NYPD doesn't pay attention to drifters, if you ask me.

But yeah, this whole "sleeping in public being illegal" thing is so weird. Society is so crazy that it has gone against nature. You can't sleep in nature, or walk around nekkid as nature made you (hey I'm not that way though... those nudists are crazy :P). I guess outside of city limits you can do whatever though probably.
