Rest Stop Camping in Heavy Rain, Hail & Thunder - A Long Night in the Car

I originally set out looking for a quiet campsite to ground myself and clear my head—but then a massive storm system rolled in from the Rockies. With the weather getting serious, I made a last-minute change and pulled into a highway rest stop to ride it out.

It turned out to be the right call. There was something comforting about being surrounded by other travelers—trucks pulling in, RVs parked for the night, headlights glowing through the rain. The lightning show was incredible, though it made it hard to focus on making dinner. Eventually, the storm settled down enough for me to get some rest… at least for a little while.

This video is part storm watch, part car camping experience, and part reflection on staying grounded through uncertainty.
