I once bought a permit in Colorado to cut a tree in forest service land. a snowstorm picked up as my wife and I were driving out into the mountains. eventually we just pulled over on the road and cut down a good looking tree. a few people stopped and asked if we were ok.

checked GPS data later, and we were on a random backroad miles away from where we were trying to go, and had cut a random tree from someone's backyard. had no idea at the time
