Loves RV overnight spots and Easy Gas Pumps

[DonTom]

Have you or anyone you know ever heard of someone being forced to vacate a rest area with a "no overnight" policy? Hard for me to imagine that if you were approached and said you were just too tired to drive, that you would be forced to leave anyway.

You mean those signs are for their good looks? If they are not going to enforce it, take down the signs!

Those signs could kill a law-abiding citizen or get somebody else killed.

The west is MUCH more reasonable. We have many more rest stops and overnight parking is always allowed.

I recall signs in Utah that said drivers may stop on the side of the freeway to take a nap.

In some states in the SE you can drive for many hundreds of miles and not see a single place to stop for the night.

You're asking the wrong person. I have only seen the signs and I have only been to the SE that one time.

Here is who you should ask.

Where did that come from??? I was thinking they might be sleeping on the sidewalks like they are in El Paso and other border cities.

Which is it, are they sleeping on the sidewalk in S. Texas or robbing and killing old white people at rest stops in Florida. When you suggest illegal immigrants are probably the reason Florida has changed its overnight parking regulations are you saying that because you have reason or just think so because they’re lowing hanging fruit and it’s simple.

jymbee, good question!

I didn't bring up crime, you did.

Here’s a novel idea from Wittgenstein, whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent. As far as you know and with equal reason behind it the policy was put in place to keep circus midgets from overstaying there welcome.

I have pulled a MH over on the side of a highway and slept for the night in Utah. To be sure, it was a small, two-lane state highway off the beaten path, but a highway nonetheless.

Here in Southern AZ, not too far from border there is more crime. Not raping old white folks, but mostly theft, nuisance type things. The raping seems to happen more on the trip up.

I did that once in New Mexico when the campground we'd been aiming for was too small for our rig. Woke up in the morning and took the dog out only to find a sign on the roadside fence that said we were in the Jicarilla Apache reservation. As an avid reader of Louis L'Amour and other western writers, that sign gave me a bit of a shiver.

the Jicarilla Apache reservation.

But did they care about people taking a nap just off the roads there?

I see you finally made it back to Tom's Place. How's the snow there? Is the place fully open, at least @ the French Camp?

Apparently not, I got out of there with my hair. What little of it was left.

French Camp, Tuff Campground and Convict Lake campgrounds open next Thursday. A couple of the smaller campgrounds up the hill probably a couple of weeks after that. East Fork and the rest of them up the hill probably won't be open until July some time. Rock Creek Lake is still frozen over.

I am surprised you can even get up there now by road. That is above 9,700' / 3km elevation.

The road is still actually closed that high up, but I have a key to the gate. They stopped plowing about 100 yards past where I took the picture. I was on the Honda, so I turned around before I got to the snow in the road.

There is a new Love's at exit 81 on I-80 in PA. It has both pull through and back in sites.

 

[Deano2002]

one just opened within the last few month at Rt. 80 and Brisbon Road interchange in Morris, IL.. There's always plenty of RV'ers in and out of there and, we are close enough to see the sign lit up at night from our house 1 1/2 miles away. Plenty costly for that kind of a place but, if you need to use it for a stop and go it might be worth it on the way
