El Paso Wally docking

I typically stay at the KOA on the west side of Las Cruces when traveling through there. For free, maybe the truck stops at the Texas/New Mexico line are an option. I worked in El Paso for two years and wouldn't consider overnighting in any shopping centers, Walmart or otherwise.

I wouldn't say that if someone succesfully stayed there over night without getting hurt or killed then it must be safe.

Well, we have a couple "wild & crazy guys" we travel with. You know--Smith & Wesson, and they bring their friend, Rugar. We don't want trouble at all, just traveling through.
Thanks for the tip about Anthony.

:) Apparently we run in different social circles. I spend my time hanging out with Colonel Colt :)

I have to laugh at this. I joined IRV2 a couple of weeks ago. A comment like this got me banned.

after thought on this, There is a Walmart in Las Cruces just off I-10 if that's what you looking at. I believe it is off the 140 Avenita De Mesilla go the the stop light (Valley & turn rt. There are two truck stops at 139 a TA & Loves, food decent at the TA.

His naiveté is impressive

We spent a night in Anthony/El Paso Texas at the rest area on Interstate 10 last March. We had a nice peaceful, quiet night. Our neighbor just outside the rest area was La Tuna Federal Penitentiary. They didn't bother us and we didn't bother them.

I choose not to live in fear, the whole border thing is blown way out of proportion.

Tell that to Oscar Lopez.

There is absolutely endless desert out here. Head west on I-10 even just a few dozen miles and you'd be hard pressed to find a more empty place. That said, I'd stay in a truck stop before I'd crash in a Wally World parking lot in El Paso; there's truck stops everywhere and that's what their parking spots are there for--larger vehicles where people sleep inside. Truckers don't call it camping, as it's just work for them.

Keep going, or stay at a RV park.

If you had to use your "wild & crazy guys" you will regret it and it will create a lot of trouble for yourself.

just from the post above I,d drive right on threw. I take my friend with me also.

I live close to El Paso, it is safe just don't start anything. There is a KOA at exit 2 w/b 0 e/b behind Camping World.

For the poster that said the boarder is not an issue, El Paso has bullet holes in city hall, came across the boarder. Tonight's news 13 YOA killed leaving Mexico, near boarder check. The boarder issue is real if you live down this was. Albuquerque 3 homicides so far, the first2 two hours into the new year. That does not include the shot that did not die.
