True Story My brother bought a house in an area neighborhood with all young couples with children.
Almost every weekend he would take his family and go camping.
They had a small camping trailer to fit 4 people.
His next door neighbor said he would rent a camping trailer to see if his family would like this.
My brother offered him to use his trailer to try to see if it was fun for them.
The following weekend they decided to try it out.
They called campgrounds to make reservations and they decided on a place in Maine.
On a Friday evening after his work, his wife had everything packed and they were ready to go.
My brother helped him to connect a bumper trailer hitch to his car and off they went.
He drove on the highway for about an hour and then he pulled into a roadside rest area.
It was decided then that his wife would be better to drive as he worked all day and was tired.
He wanted to get into the trailer for a nap and his wife reminded him that was against the law.
He told her if she was stopped to tell them he was at home and he was meeting her tomorrow at the camp ground.
He took of his shirt and pants and laid down on the bunk in the camper.
So off she went up the highway.
The children were sleeping in the back seat.
She turned on the radio for company and drove quite a ways.
All of a sudden she got very tired and needed to close her eyes for a few minutes.
She pulled over in a safe place on the side of the road.
She turned the car off and laid her head on the front seat.
Her husband saw they were stopped so he got out of the camper to go into the woods for a few minutes.
When he looked into the car he saw his wife was what he thought was sleeping.
His wife couldn't sleep so she started the car and continued down the highway.
In the meantime her husband came out of the woods to find her gone...
What was he to do..
..
He went out to the highway (without shirt & pants) and started to flag down cars.
Before you knew it he was given a ride by the State Police to the police station.
He explained his wife was up ahead and she didn't know he had left the car.
The state police called up ahead and stopped his wife and she explained that her husband was at home and he was going to meet her the next day at the campground.
The police arrested her husband for having no clothes on, lying to a police officer and riding in back of a camper.
His wife bailed him out in the morning he went to court the next day and had to pay a fine of $300.
00.
They went home never wanting to go camping again.
