inciter - HA!
So kind of funny story I was reminded of after reading some comments a couplea pages back:
A few months ago I was on my first night on a trip the Overland Expo East in Ashland, NC. and camped in southern Illinois at Giant City State Park. (I love that place!) I drove to the back tent camping area and popped-up in the parking area.
I'd had to use my Lynx Levelers to get my truck level on the uneven ground. During the night, a very loud old man pulled his sedan up not far from my camper and proceeded to talk on the phone loudly for a couple of hours. He seemed to fall asleep in his Needless to say, I didn't sleep well. The next morning, I wanted to leave before he woke up, so I got packed up quickly and took off... forgetting my bright orange levelers. D'oh!
I realized I'd left them about 2 hours into my drive. So, I wrote them off and considered it my payment for campering for free (ha!), and hoped someone would could use them would find them.
The next day, I arrived at the Overland Expo and got camp set up with the Four Wheel Camper exhibition. Yay!
The next morning, I think I was outside having morning coffee and a man in his late 20's/30's walks up to me and asks if I'd camped at Giant City State Park in southern Illinois a couple of nights prior. Surprised, I said, "Well, yes." and looked at him quizzically.
Turned out, he had arrived just after dark. I'd heard him pull in. In the morning, he saw the levelers and took them. Since he was heading to the Overland Expo, and the person who left them was in a camper, he thought just perhaps just maybe that person in the camper might be there too.
Turned out, I was! Got my levelers back!
I bought him lunch and we chatted a bunch.
Small world and Happy day!
