So there's an area I work that is surrounded by Forest Preserves. Generally when I'm in that area, I will park at one of the various parking lots and eat my lunch. Now the particular lot I park at is surrounded by prairie grass, you can be seen from the main road very easily.
Aside from the other folks who park here to eat their lunch or take a nap, there isn't any funny business that goes on here, mainly because everything is out in the open and well, the occasional drive-by of the FPPD. 
What I don't understand are these people who drive all the way in here (lot is 100 yards off the road), park from anywhere between 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and then leave. There's usually 2 or 3 of them within the hour I sit here that do it. All different people at different times.
I don't get it. 
So you are not the gay cruiser they were looking for?
Looking at maps, eating a snack or doing something else that they shouldn't do while driving?

Actually the only thing I have ever seen a couple people do is call someone, which in today's technology laden world I forget that some people may actually pull over to call someone.
Everyone else just pulls in, looks around, and leaves.

No obvious dope or blow-n-gos to be had.
Waiting on a call to pick up and they call right as the car arrives, btdt

This, assuming that it is like many Chicagoland Forest Preserves.

Well like I said, the lots are all surrounded by prairie a half mile in every direction, so I don't know why they would bother when a few miles away are ones in the actual wooded areas.
Maybe people see the lot and the cars parked there, think there must be something interesting there, drive in to see what it is, see you waiting for a man date 
, realize there is nothing there, drive off.
Kind of like a honey pot trap, but no trap.
It's hard to make Trucker bombs while you are moving.

Back in the late 1970's I approached a hippy and bought a joint at Bemis Woods near I294 & Ogden Avenue. (What was I thinking?)
Well, no offense, but I don't get dudes sitting by themselves in a truck at a park. Seriously. WTF? I stopped taking my daughter to one park in town because there are inevitably 2 or 3 dudes sitting in trucks by themselves doing god-knows-what. Creepy creepy creepy gross. If you're gonna go to a park by yourself to eat lunch (weird, but whatever,) at least get out of the car and eat so you don't look like you're auditioning for "To catch a predator."

But if I turn the radio up enough to hear it when I'm outside car some bird watching wacko nature freak is going to have a conniption. So, I sit in my car quietly keeping to myself, not disturbing nature or the nature watchers while I have a relaxing repose and some nut job playing with his kid starts screaming at me calling me a PERVERT.
It's not like I had it out, I was rubbing it through my pants...

Um, yeah, I drive a giant corporate billboard, so I don't do anything but eat my lunch and spend the rest of my time looking at GRM on my phone.
If there were benches or picnic tables, I would get out of my van and eat, but there are none, so I'm going to stay in my van.
OP doesn't get people pulling in for 5 minutes and leaving.
I don't get dudes sitting in their car by themselves at the park.
That was my point. Maybe the people who pull in and leave are freaked out by the dudes sitting by themselves in their trucks. Just sayin.

So, would you feel better if there were a group of guys sitting in a car?

If its dark, you're in a parking lot, and there are more than two people in a car, you can best be assured there's drugs involved.

Wait, I'm that creepy guy in the truck! Sometimes I go to a park near the river and watch the boats go up and down during lunch. In the spring and fall Canadians are migrating from north to Florida, nice boats.
It's my only chance to get away from the phones.
And yes I wear pants....

No it wasn't.
Your point was that you think people who do that are creepy, gross, and weirdos. Jusy sayin'.
