-====== Wallydocking ======
-Some Walmarts allow folks to park in their parking lots overnight.  [[http://www.walmartlocator.com/no-park-walmarts/|Some do not]].  Boondocking in a Walmart parking lot is no one's first choice but it is important we camp appropriately so we may retain that choice.  Wallydocking has been a blessing to many a tired driver or folks without a campsite reservation.
-Other places with similar policies include Cracker Barrel and many truck stops.
-Best practices:
-  * be respectful;  it is their property
-  * obey any signs that say overnight camping is forbidden
-  * ask the manager if it is ok
-  * if you need anything, please purchase it at this walmart.  Holding your purchase while you talk to the manager in the previous step is a great first impression.
-  * stay only a night or two
-  * park away from trafficked areas;  at the back/sides/garden center are usually good.
-  * make no messes, and pick up any messes you see
-  * maintain a low profile
-    * keep your slides in
-    * jacks up (or on pads if absolutely necessary); we don't want to damage the lot
-    * no generators
-    * no lawn chairs or other gear outside
-    * for doG's sake do not drain //anything// in the lot
