North of Deacon and Boozer's safe house, you will come across the O'Leary Mountain Horde. This horde is situated directly west of the Jefferson Rail Tunnel Ambush camp. If you've cleared the checkpoint, you might not want to fast-travel there since it will be very close to the horde and might alarm them. This horde is next to a Nero checkpoint (the Horse Lake Checkpoint). Fast-travel to that location and simply head down south, and you will quickly come across the horde. Near the Jefferson Rail Tunnel Ambush Camp. He’ll nearly always say yes, and then you’ve got your real answer: they do allow it.West of the Old Pioneer Cemetery, there's a Nero checkpoint nearby that you can fast-travel to. If you do pull into the lot anyway, ask one of the fellows gathering carts if he sees RVs parked overnight. They often answer in their own sweet time, but when they do, simply ask “Does your store allow traveling RVers to spend one night on your lot?” On rare occasion they’ll recite the local parking ordinance if there is one. The single best way to find out is by calling the store and choose customer service from the menu on their answering machine. Walmart doesn’t enforce them, and the local cops have better things to do than hassle law abiding RVers who are spending money in their town. For nearly 20 years I have parked at Walmarts with such signs from coast to coast and border to border, and have never been asked to leave.

In ID it’s a ‘no’ if the Walmart is near a major event center (such as Nampa), but fine at other locations. In OK we were told only if our rig was 10 years old or newer, so we just had to show documentation. CA within about 50 miles of the coast we were turned away but in eastern parts we were accepted. I didn’t know Lincoln NE had 4 Walmarts, but I can say we were turned away at one and accepted at another. In PA most Walmarts are on property owned by the township, so township ordinance of no overnight parking is enforced. If we are pulling in late I’ll call ahead, ask permission to put “permission granted for dates x to x overnight parking, via phone conversation at x time.” I write the manager’s name. We put it on our dash or affix to our driver side window. We go into the store, talk to the manager, and have them write permission on a 3×5 card I supply.
