Wal-Mart

We've been initiated into the club. We stayed at our first Wal-Mart (Albuquerque) last night. We got here a day early (and so did 2700 other rigs attending The Rally). The local rv parks were full and we were lucky to find an open spot at Wal-Mart.

The weather had forecasts of wind gusts of 50-60 mph on Wednesday (today) and we really didn't want to drive in that weather so we got here yesterday. The only available location I could find was a rv park behind a local motel. We missed the turn into their place and ended up next door at The Comfort Inn. We got out, walked over to the fence and looked at the park where we had reservations. Tim and I looked at each other and said no way - their banjos had strings missing. I tried to convince the Comfort Inn Manager to let us stay in his parking lot but he said he'd be full that evening and he needed every parking space.

So off we go to find a Wal-Mart. Fortunately, we didn't have to go far. It was even a Super Wal-Mart.

We also had a view of Staples. Payless Shoes was next to them. Behind us was Chili's and StarBucks was across from them. Tim walked over to the store this morning for donuts. I went later and got ice. Really worked out well since what I forgot at home I picked up at Wally World.
