I found the story about sleeping under the bridge to be interesting. You had a tent, and you determined that the bridge made you sick, so why be under the bridge? It doesn't seem to offer any shelter advantage in the conditions. You lose the sunlight which disinfects and keeps you warmer. Looking back on that, was the bridge just a mistake?

No, it wasn't a mistake.
I'm still wondering why you picked the bridge when you had a tent and didn't like the bridge.

Did the tent have a huge leak? Was there baseball-sized hail? Were you on concrete or something else, and did that make the difference somehow?

My recollection is that there were bad storms with high winds. The tent was a cheap tent. It really wasn't going to be able to take that kind of battering.
