No Overnight Parking at Interstate Rest Areas
I know a number of states do not allow overnight parking at the state-run rest areas along the interstates. Has anyone been asked to leave one of these locations during the night? We've stayed in them...

If you ever happen upon the rest stop on I 81 Nortbound in PA, between I-80 and Wilkes Barre, I believe its name is Dorrance, keep an eye out for the wicked witch of the east who works at the place. I would not suggest sleeping there LOL.
A few years back the place was jam packed mid afternoon. There was not one single parking space open in either the truck or car section when we stopped and the kids needed to go, and go bad. I pulled the truck and trailer off to the side on the shoulder past the car spaces which was about 12' wide. It did have a few signs "no parking on shoulder".
Before I could even get out of the door here comes this nasty hag of a woman who jumped in my face with a ciggy hanging from the corner of her mouth, who had the demeanor of a much abused Rotweiler, to inform me that I could not park there LOL. I had to tell this nasty example of a woman that I was parking there because your parking lots are full, and the kids were going to use the facilities, so if she did not like it she is more than welcome to go back to her shack and call the PSP. I suggested she might be better off worrying about cleaning her toilets. She proceeded to write down my tag numbers then stormed off while spewing a diatribe that could be heard for 100 yds, complete with a few F bombs LOL.
