When stealth camping on tour goes really, really wrong [plus embarrassing video]

[dave_vd]

Hi guys,

Ever had a bad night when touring?

Just posted about stealth camping, getting sprayed by sprinklers, and why the bad moments on tour are actually good moments given time. If you're interested check it out here: http://www.vaguedirection.com/when-adventure-travel-goes-wrong-why-thats-a-good-thing/

Thanks!

+1 Ace. Been there never done that. Last summer I was wakened at 10:30 p.m. in the middle of a thunderstorm by a state park ranger who wanted my camping fee. Mind you, as a lad I did all kinds of daft stuff. Ever tried sleeping under a car with the bit poking out in a plastic bag?

Haha, I suppose you have to go through these kind of things to quickly learn from them!

Gotta give it to the ranger - I'm sure a lot of them would stay in their truck / office in a thunderstorm - must've been irritating!

Never slept under a car - how did that go?!

Grim. the slightest head movement brought a shower of rust and grease into my eyes. When I finally did get a few minutes doze I woke and tried to sit up...

Sounds, erm, memorable!

Yeah, all of those weird experiences fall under the commonly used phrase, "Making Memories."
