First Stop....Walmart!

We left Farmingville at about 3:00 PM, and head for the NY Thruway. It rained all the way. We hit a lot of traffic thru the Bronx but things started to loosen up after the Tappan Zee Bridge.
By the time we got to Troy NY and head east on route 7 toward Vermont, it was pretty dark and still raining so we decided to get to Bennington VT, where there is a Walmart with a giant parking lot.
I am not even kidding, Peter has a catalogue of all the Walmart's in the US where Motor Homes are allowed to park overnight for no charge. So we parked the coach, went into a pizza restaurant, ordered dinner, went shopping in Walmart, went back to pick up our dinner and back to the coach for salad and stuffed shells.
You can't make this stuff up!

He has a complete list of Walmart parking lots that allow overnight parking for free? Was this just something that popped into his head as a 'need to know' thing?
