Hahahah...that's awesome. Several years ago there was a QRP contest called
"Run For the Border", yup, you had to be operating from a Taco Bell parking
lot. There were over 100 logs turned in! Just proves all most hams need for a
road trip and outdoors operation, is an excuse, no matter how silly it is.

We used to have a diner near here called "The Knuckle Sandwich"...they had a
1950's rock n roll motif, and served all kinds of delicious fried foods.  Some
of the guys would meet there and call "The Knuckle Net" on the local
repeater.  It always brought more hams to the "table" so to speak.

I write up my POTA adventures and put them on my website, if you ever want to
take a look just go to https://kb9bvn.net
