Welcome to Camp Walmart

Had to get out and get some pictures of the Walmart we are staying at tonight here in Fort Stockton, Texas.

We arrived first, and found what I consider the perfect spot. We arrived at 3:45pm after driving a very long and considerably boring 460 miles. Did I mention before I hate Western Texas. As Nick Russell would say.."Nothing to do but count the road kill". I would add to that you can also count the pieces of tires.

Anyway...on to the rest of our story. Soon after we arrived, others started pouring in. We now have 8 overnight campers in the Walmart Campground. There are 5 motorhomes, 2 airstream travel trailers and a fifth wheel.



At least there is no room for a truck to come along side of us. They can be very noisy at night. However even that would be better that the trains that keep me awake last night in Sealy, Texas. Even there we had 4 other motorhomes around us, but there was a lot more room. Must be all the snowbirds on the move now that the holidays are over.

We are expecting an easy drive tomorrow...only about 320 miles to Deming, New Mexico. We will stay at the Escapee park there for the rest of the weekend. We need to be off the road over the weekend to see the football playoffs!!

  1. You have our parking spot. That's where we were a month ago. Yep, it most definitely is a boring drive through West Texas and we did it twice in about a month ... ugh!

  2. If things would've come together the way they were supposed to, we'd have been in Deming at the same time! But no....due to this freeze, we probably won't be in Deming until next Thursday night. Looks like a Wally World Adventure for sure! We're gonna stop off at Isleta Casino and Resort, NM south of Albuquerque on the way down.
