Stealth Parking

Missing the deadline for getting a hotel room at the state rate for a conference I have to attend means that I'm spending two nights sleeping in Ludwig in Helena's Red Lion parking lot.

The low the first night was about 32F, but that was right at 7.30 when I had to wake up anyway.

I thought using a parking lot surreptitiously was called 'boondocking', but apparently that term implies actual camping camping, like in the woods and all. This tree made it enough like camping for my purposes.
