2026 Wednesday Night Parking Lot Party

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,688]

Who is in for the Wednesday night parking lot party at the hotel? I forget the name of the hotel but it is the usual one. I will be there with the camper again and yes I will have a cigar for Jo and Brian!

We'll be there if it's the same place as last year. We slept in the truck in the parking lot and all you guys were crashed out already and it was only midnight. Party just gettin started when we get there.  Dan kept hitting his head on the dash 'cause I parked down hill.

Gate don't open 'till 9 so we just stay up and party 'till 4. Show rules no drinking between 7 and 8 AM anyway. Leaves us a hour to sober up and git to the show. 

Didn't we crack one waiting in line for the gate to open @Pullstart?

Uncle Jim tells Dan where to go and sleeps in the passenger seat the whole way.  He’s wound up like an 8 day clock after a hard day of riding in his passenger princess seat!

Well that sucks but you taught him to grow up so that's what he's doing. 

Count me in for the parking lot pre-show party!  But not too much partying for me this year

Dan's a good driver but a terrible navigator. Little hard on the throttle but a good driver. 

I can only sleep in a moving vehicle if I am at the wheel...

Does anyone know where to spend the night at with a motorhome and trailer? We were thinking about maybe trying to make it to this but not knowing where to spend the night at, we weren't sure.

We spend it in the parkin lot of the hotel but not sure if a rig like that would fit. I suppose if ther is room for Stevbo's monster rig???

Otherwise the walley world in Chambersburg with a huge parking lot. Pullstart and I spent the night a few times there with no problems.

Its only a 23 foot motorhome towing a 14 foot trailer so its not the biggest set up but it is larger than a truck and trailer

Chambersburg Walmart is a great spot.  I usually park out by the Walmart gas station, and nobody bugs me.  Most Wally worlds say no overnight camping, but they allow 24 hour parking.  Take it as you wish.
