I Ditched Work and Stealth Camped at a Truck Stop (Cops Showed Up)

I'd been stuck at the office until 11pm every night for weeks straight. Something had to give. So I grabbed my Japanese rice cooker from storage and drove I-85 further south than I'd ever been. Pilot Flying J turned out to be a pretty solid overnight spot. The trucks are loud enough that you don't feel self-conscious. The coffee is actually good. And the cops who parked right next to me were a surprise to be sure.
