Author Topic: Looking for a place to crash along I-35, I-335 Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 10-06-2008 12:23 PM                        Leaving for Dallas this Saturday and I'm looking for a place to crash for the night between or around Topeka or Wichita, hopefully with enough safe parking for a pickup and trailer. Thanks, JJ  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-06-2008 04:25 PM                     Wal-Mart parking lots are usually OK. Usually managers are OK with it.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 10-06-2008 08:35 PM                        That would be fine, except for the fact that there will be no room in said pickup and I don't think a tent in a parking lot is a good idea. To be more precise, does anyone have a couch I can use for the night JJ  |  IP: Logged Kat Baggett Film Handler Posts: 23 From: Citrus Heights, CA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-06-2008 09:55 PM                     Josh...we got room here for ya...but we are just a little bit out of the line of your trip. Hope it is a safe one.  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-07-2008 06:18 PM                     I would offer, but driving to Lawton from that direction is nearly as far as driving straight through to Dallas (not to mention it would add at least another 100 or so miles to the trip).  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-07-2008 07:09 PM                       A motel, maybe?  |  IP: Logged Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 10-07-2008 11:09 PM                        Johnson County, KS, which includes cities like Overland Park and Olathe is one of the safest counties in the country. It's located along I-35, in fact, my apartment is about 4 blocks off of I-35 in Olathe. There are lots of parking lots where I see trucks/campers parking for the night on a regular basis. It's also not too far from the Topeka area and a much, much nicer area I might add.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 10-08-2008 12:58 AM                        quote: Tim Reed A motel, maybe? Unfortunately, I'm a cheap ass. At least the price of gas is going down.

Well, dude, just park it in a truck stop and sleep slumped over the steering wheel. You'll save a bundle! There's a Flying J at exit 127, on I-35 in Kansas. quote: Christian Volpi my apartment is about 4 blocks off of I-35 in Olathe.

I've got a spare bedroom with a deluxe futon in it. Its yours for the asking. Ummm, to sleep on, not take! I have off street parking too.  |  IP: Logged Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 10-11-2008 08:04 AM                        quote: Tim Reed Your profile says Fremont, NE?
