Walmart....."NO......"
Always have seen a bunch of rigs parked (camping) at our local Walmart. Yesterday there was a crew putting up signs on all the light poles. "NO OVERNIGHT PARKING." Just thought it was interesting...

This gets me wondering:
When I was a kid growing up, there were rest stops, picnic areas, turn-offs, and other places for drivers to park. Every road had them, be it a two lane road, four lane place, and so on. If you wanted to crash for the night, you went down a country road, pulled over.
Those disappeared. I don't know of a single public "rest stop" within 100 miles of where I live. The turn-offs have been torn up, the picnic tables long gone. So if you want to pull over and crash, it became Wallydocking and using private places.
My question is, with Wallydocking on the outs, where do people go to park if tired? If isn't just an issue of being "too cheap to use a CG." Where I live, there is not one single RV park within 100 miles that will not be completely booked for the next month, so "just use a RV park" is not going to happen.
I have a feeling that we will see more people just doing what the RV-ers do in Austin during SXSW. They will just park in someone's driveway, plug into the water and electric, and if the cops are called, wait until the owner gives a formal notice of trespass. When this is done, they will drive a block or two, and park in another driveway. Unless there is a "tow away zone" sign, the police won't be able to do anything.
