07/13/18 - Oh my, Friday the 13th. I had a good traveling day.  Got up at 7 45 am.  It had rained some during the night but is drizzling this morning.  I left the Walmart at 8 55 am.  Soon it started to rain some but then cleared off.  I had a nice rest stop for lunch and took my time since I left a little earlier than planned and would have gotten to the Walmart in Des Moines too early.  I also need to fill up some jugs with water so was about a hour and half for lunch. After lunch, I drove in rain most of the way.  It was a light rain but the roads were wet.  When I got to the Walmart in West Des Moines, Iowa, I checked out the parking lot and there was very little opportunity and then I got to a sign that said "truck route" so turned there and now there is lots of room to park but there are signs posted every where "no truck parking" and "will tow". Now I am in the Sam's Club parking area.  I parked and pondered a while and then decided to be smart and go asked someone.  This guy tells me straight across is also Sam's parking lot and I can park there because no signs are posted so that is what I did  Now I can sleep without worry.  While I had the generator running, I made tea for tomorrow and used up a lot of water so will have to get more at the next rest stop when having lunch.  Oh, it just started to rain.  That is good because then it will cool off things.
