We are on the way west and planning to stay at a Walmart in Ft. Stockton, TX if possible. We have not had much luck lately with Walmart allowing us to stay. We are on a highway that heads north up to I-10. There are many ranches with big houses along this road. A lot of them are sitting up high on a hill and most all have a fancy gated entrance. We don’t see many cattle but it is not crop land – too hilly. This is barren country. Miles and miles of good for nothing land. I-10 highway is 850 miles across in Texas. The small towns are few and far between but the interstate highway in this part is in pretty good shape. Walmart is our home for the night along with at least 20 other RV’s and 1 big rig truck. It was quite a sight. It is not a Super Walmart so we could not buy groceries there. A Beales Outlet store si just across the street so we went shopping. They have name brand good quality clothes at discounted prices. We usually find something we like for us or our grand daughter. They carry lots of other stuff too depending on the size of the store. We have seen these stores all over the south. We each bought some clothing for ourselves since we live a bargain.
