    10 minutes from my house. Future reference since I know you don't like truckstops the Walmart at the 720 in Sealy has plenty of truck parking and allows overnight parking although there are signs saying no parking.
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    Ncmickey, that Wal-Mart is pretty cool. We've parked there every time we had to deliver in Aurora. Firehouse Subs is pretty good.
