   Not in my part of California. Maybe for one night, but try setting up   
   camp in their parking lot and see what happens. (And where is the shit   
   disposed of, the batteries recharged, etc.? A Wal-Mart parking lot is   
   not an RV camp.)   
      
   The "intern" without a place to stay should stay home.
