Trust me that listing is only a small part of the WallyFarts across the Country. And take note many of those are in and around the larger Cities, and in the Warmer seasonal States. Case in point I checked that listing against several of the Wallmarts in S.J and we'll not listed on there.  Since the downturn of the economy and many people homeless more and more have turned to life on the road they are known by many names "Bare naked, Rootless" etc. or AKA Road gypsies.. This has become a big problem in the Southern States, and So-Cal.. Heck come Dec-April you won't be able to fit another motor home into Southern Florida. It's a new way of life and for many who are Living the Dream it works well for them. Many are actually Techies kind of working from Home but on the Go. Most of these are the larger motorhomes, but many doing it in a VW camper.

 There are actually websites devoted to this couture and life on the move. And it's a growing community. Actually really not much different then the cross Country Truckers, and if it's fair for the goose, it's fair for the gander.  

 But in our case we'll merely passing though and won't be wearing out our welcome.

 Trust, me. I've been on the road enough to know that it's really not going to be an issue for us to overnight in these locations. Don't forget that States also have Highway Rest stops, with nice accommodations, or the ever popular Free Petro's, Stuckies, 76, etc interstate Truck rest stops.   

 Some info here.. Plus a ton of info on the net..  yaygif

Generally you just check with the store manager to get their okay, and do a little shopping in their store to keep them happy   =wink=

Btw   If I went, I'd be taking my motorhome, not my bug.. lol

Right now it is postponed, gota get refitted with updated parts and get some miles on the Van to  see how it is. Looks like it will be just me making the trip unless I can talk JoAnn into going with me. It's not looking good for this summer so far.
