Heh.  I'm oddly enough familiar with that Wal-Mart.  Definitely not on
my list.

The "northern California" Wal-Mart I recently overnighted in was in Red
Bluff.  It wasn't an "intentional" situation, either: I got there at
around 4:30 in the afternoon, and just wound up staying the night after
a 50's-ish couple pulled in opposite of me in a new Eurovan platform
Winnebago.

Two generations of VW campers, housing two generations of VW owners
(I'm in my early 30's).  You can meet some really cool people out on
the road.
