Some RVers, especially those who stealth camp in small vehicles, differentiate between day camps and night camps. I very rarely hang around one place during the day that is not the same place where I spent the night. But I recently did that.
I spent a Saturday night at a Cracker Barrel. Sunday morning is a very popular time for locals to eat there so I felt a need to vacate their parking lot. But, I was too close to my destination to want to move on there so early in the day. So, I moved to a Cabela’s parking lot to spend a few hours.
I don’t know if you are all familiar with Cabela’s. It is a huge sporting goods store. With huge parking lots. Most of their customers are, of course, sports people. Some of whom arrive with dogs. So Cabela’s offers dog pens where you can leave your dog outside your vehicle since we all know leaving them locked in a car while shopping is not a good plan in most weather.
Some of them also offer horse corrals. I’d never seen a horse in the corral, though. Until this stop.
Maybe it’s because I am in Texas?

HaHa … Just maybe it is since you are in Texas. Cabela’s is a great place to spend a few hours. The problem is we find too many things we want to take with us when we leave.
There’s a McDonalds in Acton California that has a hitching post for horses. There are a lot of horse people in that area.
I try not to let Jim get too close to Cabelas. So hard to get him out of there.
LOL!
yup.
definitely because you are (or were?) in texas.
first love football. second love horses.
I can understand your feeling about needing to move on in the morning!
We overnighted at the Cabela’s in Rapid City and ended up right next to the horse pen. Let me assure you, by the overnight aroma that pen DID get used. 🙂
As with Walmart, some of the Cabela’s are more than glad to have an overnight RV’er — trusting that on average they’ll buy something before moving on. It IS dangerous walking into those stores; too easy to spend money.
I’m so glad to see stores that acknowledge the nature of their clientele and accommodate their fur children or fur friends or whatever you want to call them. 🙂
looks like Texas to me! HaHaaa
