We had an unexpected early departure from Leech Lake, which worked in our favor as we were anticipating a 9 hour travel day. We were excited with the opportunity to knock off a couple of hours a day early. The only hang up was not having a space to stay, when the idea of a Walmart parking lot dawned on us. Funny, definitely, but I thought it would be fun to take this camping opportunity, so we found a Walmart in Ashville, WI and made our way. We traveled for 3 hours before finding our ‘campsite.’ We jumped out, took the bikes off and rode into town for pizza and a sunset cruise, it was really fun. We made it back to Walmart with time to grab some groceries and supplies, had a movie night and a food challenge in the camper and early to bed. Dave was nervous about draining the batteries, I was nervous about the police showing up and asking us to leave, but neither happened an it was a pretty slick deal. We didn’t even have to unhitch! We woke up at 8am the next day, used the clean bathrooms at Walmart and hit the road.
