Longview WA

Nice quiet night and it’s dark this am so we sleep in.  The morning is still a little grey and some rain threatening but it’s warm enough.  Anyway we start our day in the most relaxing way. We are in no hurry to go anywhere today, thought we might mosey on to the next big Walmart and camp overnight, I need another haircut anyway.  Wait, we see shopping mall on the way so pull in there for an hour or two.  Even Kim is satisfied with his shopping.

We get to Walmart around 4.30 pm and dutifully ask for permission to stay overnight.  Although Walmart seems to be OK with it we are told it is against the City by-laws and we may get fined!  Well we are here next to another couple of motorhomes and there are no signs prohibiting overnight stays so we are going to trust to luck.  Allstays say it’s alright to stay and it is even a nice quiet overnighter!  Well that was a lie, some boy racers hung around at McDonalds until around 11am, the leaf blower/sweeper started cleaning while it was still dark and there were a couple of early delivery 18 wheelers which rocked up also.  Maybe free is not the best.
