Strangest PLace you have connected to Wifi / VPN while on-call ?

Hello All,

While on-call recently I had to connect over an air card to the company vpn riding shotgun as my wife drove down the interstate. That got me thinking of the strangest places I have connected to wifi/vpn over the years while on call. My current job provides me with an air card which helps out. I have been on a ferry, outside in the parking lot of a concert, and at a denny's to name a few.

A few years back before I had the air card I had to hunt around for nearby wireless access-points that didn't have encryption. One desperate night I found a school that didn't lock down their wireless so I sat on the sidewalk in front of the building for about an hour fixing issues.

Anyone else have interesting places they have connected from while on-call ?

On my on-call shifts, nothing fun, just Mc Donalds.

At a previous job I was the guy that woke up the On-Call guys depending on technology, once I called a guy for a very specific technology, the engineer was in Finland, partying at a club at 2 am local. He took down the customer´s phone number on a napkin and said he was going to the parking lot to call the customer from his car.
