Hi Mary,

It's good to learn that you've stayed at Walmart parking lots. Yes, I checked out the iOverlander app. I've never used it, but I plan to. I'm in Arizona and today I'm planning a trip to Tonto National Forest to see if I can catch a glimpse of Wild Horses. I understand they come out at pre-dawn to water. I know a lot of Walmart's have stopped letting people sleep overnight, because of the growing homeless population. I always call ahead to check which ones allow overnight parking and then I plan accordingly. I also stay at Cracker Barrell or Love Truck Stops. And sometimes roadside parks. And sometimes I pay for an over night stay. I'm glad you enjoy my writing.

HI Carol,

I have stayed in a Walmart parking lot in my van and found it sometimes restful, other times noisy, do you know about the iOverlander app? I've found good places on it. Haven't done it in a while since I've changed my traveling strategy. But more Walmarts on the West Coast aren't allowing it anymore unfortunately. Enjoying your writing very much!
