Glad you liked it!

I believe Ft. Stockton Walmart allows overnight parking more readily because it's a small city and they know folks will come in and shop and make it worthwhile for them. 🤑😊

[@jamesmickan6197]

G'day Rusty, I am looking forward to seeing the Fort's trails again and hopefully some wildlife, cheers.

[@rusty78609]

Back in Texas just in time for a feared Polar Vortex. Looks like next week to start and el Zilcho we can do about it. And it wont last too long. Been a real mild fall and early winter so far here. The drought continues. Safe travels Rusty. Those who wander are not necessarily lost, but most who wonder are.

[@rusty78609]

I wonder why I wander

[@Oilfieldscout]

Humm...that's something to wonder about. Of course you being you, just wandering.

[@luischannel04]

Good morning Rusty! Have a safe trip 😊

[@rusty78609]

Morning! I will.

[@Tyler77573]

Glad you decided to utilize the Ft. Clarke Springs hideout, I'm still itching for a trip to Garner State Park

[@rusty78609]

It's a good hideout.

[@poodleprofessor]

Safe travels today. I think the most I can do now is about 4 hours of driving at one time. I can't believe I used to do 12 hour drives! Yuck.

[@rusty78609]

yuck is right...8 is a load for me now

[@doingitwithnothing]

WalMart Ft-Stockton has an interesting beginning in ?? 1987 ??. Ft Stockton has a 3-4-5 block long "downtown" retail area, with long-time, family-owned stores for 50 years? More? Population had been up and down with oil booms, and in the '70s, it was trending downward and those stores struggled. Then KMart arrived in the late '70s and undercut every local store in town. They'd even go thru and hire those families' teenagers on a steady basis, robbing perhaps the only employee-pool the whole of downtown had used for a generation or more. Of course, more stores closed, some quickly but by 1985, few family-owned stores survived. AND KMART jacked up prices. "Why not? You can't buy shoestrings in Ft Stockton anymore - you can drive 110 BORING, DULL, SLEEP-INDUCING miles into Odessa. So do that or shut up and support KMART." So prices rose and rose. "Yes, we're more expensive than Monahans' KMART (60 miles away) and those big-city Odessa stores. But so what?" Then Walmart arrived in 1987 and undercut KMart considerably. KMart faltered and by 1989, KMart was laying off workers (teens, etc) and shuttering their doors. And WalMart kept their prices low. Unfortunately, this killed off the biggest grocery store sometime in the '90s, and WalMart's prices of course went up, then. But terribly. Another grocery store came in to provide different brands and competitive pricing. I'm glad to hear WalMart's store leaders are RV-friendly. There are 'parks' for elongated stays around Ft Stockton, but for the one-night-stand'ers, it's a good use of space AND there are a venders nearby for food and fuel. They live off of road-travelers - that's what all the highways do. Having WalMart serve as an hours long host benefits all of those local businesses. By the way, this is a one-finger-up signal-area... locals raise their index finger off their steerin' wheel. "Hi... I'm fine, and you? Just wavin' to recognize your existence, if nothing else."

... the Wellton/Yuma stay was cool but Quartsite was a bust of sorts in comparison in my view ? you reminded me I spent New Years at the truck stop by Pecos once 20 years ago very boring ..!
