If you’ve ever been on a really long camping trip you know exactly
what I’m talking about, it’s amazing.
So what is so great about Walmart?
1. Most Walmart stores are open 24/7 now.
2. You can sleep in the parking lot of Walmart.
3. You can get everything you need there (besides climbing gear)
4. Walmart has bathrooms that you can use (great for that little sink
shower that all scouts love so much)
5. Cheap which just might be a thrifty Scout’s favorite word!
This is why most Scouters love Walmart.
To say the least whether you like Walmart or don’t it can be a great
resource for any troop on an extended road trip.
Oh and if you have any great stories about your time spent at Walmart
let us know.
Oh Man!!! Where is that picture of ASM Tim on the Merry Go Round at Walmart when I need it?
I had been on a weekend backpacking trip getting ready for a trip to Isle Royale (great place by the way), but had to attend a Brewers Baseball game on Sunday afternoon.
We got off the trail and had just enough time to drive down to Milwaukee for the game. Problem was we were both pretty disgusting from a weekend on the trail. We stopped at a Walmart bought two gallons of water and washed our hair in the parking lot. It was pretty embarrassing at the time, but now every time I drive by that parking lot I laugh.
