Just back in the fall DW and I had a get-away weekend planned in the Poconos. It was supposed to be "easy and simple" - no towing, no set up, just go and relax.
We got there and checked in to the hotel, put our stuff in the room and went to dinner. Later, I realized there was a serious air quality issue with the room and I could not sleep there. By midnight, we had our stuff in the van and the desk clerk was apologizing that they didn't even have any other rooms available. We left and drove west 'till I felt calm enough to try to sleep again. We attempted to find another hotel only to find it was Penn State home coming weekend and every hotel in the area was booked up solid. Checked the GPS and drove out of town to state game land area and cold camped in the entry way to a gated forest service road. Woke up to the birds singing and sunlight through the trees...we promised each other to stick with camping from now on.
