No overnight parking? I wonder if that also means rv's and semi trucks? I asked a highway patrol in Iowa where it said no camping and asked him to explain the rule to me. He said it is meant for tents, homeless people and hitch hikers who build makeshift campsites. They do not have a problem with semi and rv drivers parking overnight as long as you do not open the slides and take over the parking space. He has seen rv'ers go as far as opening slides, putting out lawn chairs and bbq on their propane grills, thus blocking parking space for additional truck drivers. I have done the overnite in a rest area a time or two, I usually try to get between two semis to help block me from view, but also helps keep the road noise of passing trucks/cars down. Did not find any surprise tickets come morning.
