Major rest stops, like the Pilots, Flying Js, etc... should be open all night, but if you're relying on your regular Shell, BPs, etc type of places that cater mostly to locals, but happen to be near highways, it's hard to say. I've seen some open, some closed.

Thanks. We haven't had any long trips yet, and after reading some of these comments, it piqued my curiosity.

Exactly. But every Walmart I ever saw was frequented by vagabonds, vagrants ne'er-do-wells, and very old people! Some from Here, Some from There.

FYI, cross one off your list.......just left Benton, IL Walmart 19 minutes ago, and big signs say "No trailers or truck overnight parking".

I too would suggest anyone breaking in would rue the day. I just don't want to waste my time with that, cause a LOT of paperwork follows, and I'm a busy man, don'tchaknow.

Overnight stays

While i prefer to make advanced reservations along our route of travel, i’am not opposed to overnight at rest stop, wally world or any other similar spot. If there is a problem the dog will let us know in advance. In case of a major problem i have .45 semi auto and shotgunin fiver. I always check state laws for each state i’m traveling thru to know whats legal and whats not. Never have had a problem and never want to. I have a license to carry but hope to god i never have to use it.

As to why this old thread was on the news letter I’m not sure, but the initial question was about staying at I-10 rest stops and you get more responses about other places that what was asked. Please answer questions and refrain from putting responses just to respond. It makes a for lot of reading that does not pertain to the question.

Not really an old thread unless 9 days is old to you... And welcome to the forums, things digress. Even your own response that failed to follow your own demand...
