    Also you are in Va. Beach, Va., not Indiana. Don't know if Grayson Mitchell has a yard near you or not. My only experience in that area is onto the Naval base, unload, and out of there. Must be a business in your vicinity that you can work something out with. Just might take a little looking. Sure you will find something.

    And watch out for "un-posted" city laws, like, you park somewhere that seems fine, but, end up with a ticket for some obscure law.

    I parked my truck on a little dead end road that went into a grassy area owned by the apartment complex I lived at. Came out Monday morning to leave. There was a cop literally standing on the painted fender of my truck, putting a ticket in the wiper arm. I reminded him I was on private property, with permission, and he owed my company a paint job because of the rock in the tread on his shoes. He said I was in a zones area of town and couldn't get permission. Judge told him since I lived there, I could park there when off duty. We never did get paid to fix the scratches on the fender.

    I'm lucky as within a 3 min walk from me is an industrial wheel mfg shop. Talked nice to the manager and he said not an issue to park in their lot.

    As mentioned check around and if needed toss a few $$$. Be well worth knowing it's a legit parking spot and not comming back to find a ticket or worse everything gone via a tow truck.
