My wife and I have stayed at many Wal Marts on our travels around the West. We always ask the manager if sleeping overnight in our van is OK. On those rare occasions it was not allowed, a local law prohibited sleeping in vehicles when the parking lot was not owned by Wal Mart. Usually we find this type of law in places that get lots of tourists--such as beach cities. In those situations there are usually signs to let you know. Sometimes we have called the store in advance to see if an overnight stay is allowed. We think that it is very nice of Wal Mart to allow the stays. We always park in the areas they suggest and leave our area at least as clean as we found it. Lee Kouns |
