Weirdest thing that's ever happened to you while you were camping?

My fellow campers decided it would be a good idea to put the bear bag directly above my tent. At about 2am a Black Bear came to investigate, tripped the line to my A frame tent, and collapsed half of it. I awoke to heavy breathing and a collapsing tent. The next morning we found the tracks.

Besides that...frostbite
 
I went snow caving once with my wife's family. We were dating at the time so I had to look cool and wear my contacts. I have to wear the gas permeable, and you can't sleep in them. So when we went to sleep in the snow cave, I popped my contacts out and put them in their case. It was ten below zero that night. The next morning I had to put them suckers in my eyeball at -10 degrees. Could easily be one of the most painfull experiences of my life. How many people can say they've had a contact frozen to their eyeball. The second one was even worse, I knew what was coming.
 
Along with 3 other big tough guys from the crew of a submarine I was on we scared the crap out of ourselves and ended up packing up and going home in the middle of the night.
