Urban Camping

Tonight Mike is sleeping in a tent, in a parking lot, about a football field away from an ultra busy freeway.  He is camping with my brother and 98 perfect strangers, striving to win a certain number of free meals from Chick-fil-a.  Roughly twenty four hours ago he told me he wasn't sure it was worth it, and for sure it didn't make any sense, monetarily.  Then he woke up super early, qualified as one of the 100 permitted campers, and spent all day, in the rain, in the Chick-fil-a parking lot.  
It's interesting what people choose to do with their free time, no?
   
Mike and the tent city.
 
 Beautiful views from the campsite.
Mike borrowed the canopy from a friend.  Most campers stayed inside their tents to keep dry but Mike's group didn't have to.
