I know there are some folks that like making use of Walmarts as an overnight stop when traveling but I never really noticed too many people actually doing it, till I got up to the Mass/Maine area. Then, hoo-boy, there was a bunch. We made a supply run to a Walmart somewhere around Saco Maine and they had an entire corner of the back forty staked out, wagon train style. You know, circle the wagons, keep out the Injuns kind of thing. Regardless I took a slow cruise through the "camp" just out of curiosity, and based on the evil looks I was getting from some of the campers, I mean real "The Hills Have Eyes" kind of stuff, we scurried right on out. Spooky. Naturally we dubbed them all Wal-Martians.
The flip side was Cabelas. We stopped at one on our way up just for giggles and to kill some time. Besides all the stuff inside to blow money on, they had a pretty nice outside setup for folks that wanted to stop and decided to stay. We used it on the way back out. No electric/water hookups but they had a dump station, an outside covered kennel with 8 separate pens and access to potable water, AND an outside stable for at least two horses. Four if they were "family". Much friendlier looking folks here.
I think the Cabelians were more trusting of other strangers than the Wal-Martians, at least in the New England area.
