Are you ever really free from a knock, even at Walmart, gas station, residential street? I bet that sign is mainly to discourage people camping and over-staying, not travelers stopping to rest. The only reason I'd leave is if I felt the area was sketchy.
I have to say that I have heard that rest stops have become a dangerous place. I wont stop at them anymore. It has to do with trafficking. I pray whatever you do that God protects you.
I always think there is safety in numbers! My friend works at a Hardees restaurant she goes to work at 0300 or 0400 in the morning. She returned to gas station and said there were naked men running around in the parking lot trying to get in her car! It is just not very safe anywhere! Times are getting worse. Praying for safety!🙏✝️💖
You are an inspiration! Loving your videos. I am in the prepping and planning stages for my 5 month journey that will start Feb. 3, 25. I am feeling nervous, excited, thrilled, and ready for my experience(s). People like you are leading the way for us. Thank you. Keep posting videos.
The Clash, should I stay or should I go now, if I go there will be trouble, if I stay it will be double. Somebody let me know!!! Should I stay or should I go now.❤❤❤😂😂😂
Both rest areas were beautiful. The first one was more quiet. But if a place has no over night camping or parking. Best to not stay and move on. Tow companies like to boot and tow with no further warning. Very expensive lesson to learn. Smart to shop beforehand to save money with variety of food options and other needed items. Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
Michigan has no imposed time limit for staying at one of its rest stops. Unless otherwise posted, parking overnight at a rest area in Michigan is acceptable, and sleeping in vehicle is permitted. However, if if you remain parked in a rest area for an extended period, local law enforcement officers will likely check on you.
I've always lived by the motto to ask for forgiveness not permission. That being said. If it were me, I wouldn't stay there ( I see that you've moved). The knock in the middle of the night would be too jarring. I've had issues with random people knocking at my front door, and it rattles my nerves every time. The greenery looks amazing. I now live in the desert, and miss seeing that.
I listened to to the song should i stay or should I I go ,,The Clash ..I liked it …also listened to knock ,knock ,knocking on happy haven’s door,,Bob Dylian Enjoyed listening 🙏🩵
lovely rest areas. I was just wondering if we had to stop at rest areas it was usually like 2 a.m. and we just couldn't drive further so left when woke up so I wonder if they would consider that overnight?
Nice Rest Area. So is This One. My "thinking" 🤔 . . . You Have Nothing to Do. Rest Area's are just That. I would Prefer to Get WHERE I'd "Be Planted" for my Job, Take my time Getting A-l-l Set-Up and Situated. Then I'd Explore Area's All Around me. While Spending Time at Rest Area's, You Are Alone. There's just More of a " Chance " for "Nefarious" Thing's to Happen. Yes, We Live By FAITH but . . . Sometime's BAD Thing's just Happen to GOOD People. FACT.
The point of a rest area is so that people can rest and not drive tired. I think the sign is there so if the police want to make undesirables move along they can point to the sign. I would ignore it.
LInda, Habitat for Humanity is a wonderful organization to volunteer for. Many times the campsite is free and you volunteer for them. We have done the ones in Las Cruses NM and one in Vero Beach FL. The one in Vero Beach has a really nice thrift store attached to it. That's what I chose to work in and loved it! If you google Habitat for Humanity RV Caravaners it should pop up. We have met some of the nicest people we have stayed friends with. Some of them have laundry facilities, shower facilities for the volunteers, etc...
For me I would haved stayed, as long as the area seems safe, but I would leave and come back after dark. The cameras if they have them are likely only in the building and there to discourage vandalism. I hope your birthday was relaxing as well as enlightening. Birthdays are always good times to reevaluate life and goals. Blessings .❤😊
Amazing to have such a nice rest area all to yourself. You have a lovely rest areas in the USA: not so fancy here in Australia. Hope you had a good birthday and enjoyed your birthday cake XX.
No signs are a good sign , until people over stay and don't move , I move 3 × a day so not to ruin it for everyone else . Im waiting where ever I can legally :) shade is a blessing...God Bless
Who is going to knock? No agency has the manpower to harass travelers. Do they want you to "camp" there like set up your chairs and cooking station? Probably not but it is a place for travelers to rest. I think any agency would rather you be safe in your car parked than driving while tired. You aren't on private property, that is a different story.
I think I mentioned in video that I have asked permission from security in the past and the answer has been “no problem” rules change and signs don’t necessarily come down or I think I also mentioned they are to deter unwanted guests 😊
I have stayed overnight where it was clearly posted no overnight as I was so beat and tried to park elsewhere but some weirdo kept turning his headlights on me I’d move he would too so I went to a manned rest stop no over night and slept I was beat ! Never got a knock whew ! And I’m a woman of God!
Hello Linda, I would probably leave and go somewhere that is mobile dwelling friendly . It seems strange that day times are not prohibited but it's a violation at night for the same spot. I do know that there have been some disturbing crimes that happened during over night parking. I drive at night and park during the day. I have used parking garages and can sometimes get parking validated if I buy something from a near by vendor. Parking garages are cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Universities are good places to park and so are marinas and airports.
❤ Good Evening Linda🌠🎆⭐It seems like your rest Areas are the best choice👍You have all your Food and Supplys! Keep on Trucking 💯,get to where you want to be & save your Money 💰👍💫🌈🤞✌️👌🙌🙏🇺🇲🤩🌻🌞🌅🌟
It's not wasting gas it's on and onward to the next destination in a nomads life ! Got any tips how your dealing w the heat ? I'm living in my honda odyssey and the heat is really a challenge !
I would never take the chance after reading this sign. Why would I want someone tapping on my window in the middle of the night??? I believe you were getting an answer just being uncertain was your inner voice telling you to leave !
As a Christian it's a no brainer. Matthew 22:21. Render under Caeser that which is his. In other words, we are to obey the laws of the land (in this case taxes) unless to do so would go against God's law. Makes life easier just to follow the instructions of God. He has plenty of places for you to park at 😊
If the next rest area/visitors center is on the way to the Job you are heading to then why do you consider that wasting gas? You are going in that direction anyway right?
That’s upstanding .. I think I mentioned in video that I have asked permission from security in the past and the answer has been “no problem” rules change and signs don’t necessarily come down or I think I also mentioned they are to deter unwanted guests 😊
I think those signs are mainly there to discourage folks that try to stay longer periods, and groups that wanna pull up and put out chairs, grills and make a long-term situation out of it.
I don’t understand the dilemma. If you a woman of God and it’s clearly posted then integrity would have you move on to a place that allows overnights. You already have the answer, move on. It’s not for you to guess that the sign might be out of date. It’s posted. Just move on.
I don't understand the remark. It's not your place and not up to you to use God in such a way. I encourage you to move on yourself, by finishing the video... Linda did follow the sign and moved to another location.
Satan is the accuser. Only someone with hate and a Jezebel trouble making spirit would post such a ridiculous and judge mental comment. Troll elsewhere evil one. Spread your misery somewhere else. Remember, misery is optional. 😂😂
The sign says no overnight parking I’d say no brainer leave.
Why you keep leaving your cute home? Why not find a local job where you live what's hard about that? Just wondering
I wouldn't be able to relax wondering if I would get a knock at any given moment. 😊
I follow my gut, always! Good that you left.
When in doubt - don't. It's that easy.
Thanks for sharing. Be safe and be Happy 😊.

Hope you enjoyed your birthday,,, your still young,, I am 71,, nice rest area you found Linda!!!!
You aren’t parking overnight, as in leaving your vehicle there and getting a ride share to work, etc.) you are resting. It’s a rest stop!
Beautiful where you ended up🎉
I have to say that I have heard that rest stops have become a dangerous place. I wont stop at them anymore. It has to do with trafficking. I pray whatever you do that God protects you.

If you don’t have a peace, move along.
Well, you're not really camping, you're resting
The Clash, should I stay or should I go now, if I go there will be trouble, if I stay it will be double. Somebody let me know!!! Should I stay or should I go now.❤❤❤😂😂😂
"Let the peace of God rule in your hearts." The signs pretty clear, right? Go❤❤❤

I like to drive as well. Seeing God's beautiful world clears my mind of any sadness! 🐦 Happy Birthday!🎂☕

Follow the rules.
Its reality on the road...just stay safe...👍👍

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA!!!
lovely rest areas. I was just wondering if we had to stop at rest areas it was usually like 2 a.m. and we just couldn't drive further so left when woke up so I wonder if they would consider that overnight?
Loving the hopping around the rest areas,,,thank you.
Interested to see if you make it to the campground position, can't wait for the update to come, but that does look like a nice spot. 😊
Hi Linda, “The Clash” is the group that used to sing, “Should I stayOr should I go.”
Nice Rest Area. So is This One. My "thinking" 🤔 . . . You Have Nothing to Do. Rest Area's are just That. I would Prefer to Get WHERE I'd "Be Planted" for my Job, Take my time Getting A-l-l Set-Up and Situated. Then I'd Explore Area's All Around me. While Spending Time at Rest Area's, You Are Alone.

It probably means no camper trailers. I think you would be fine in a car.
HI Linda 🙋♀️ Beautiful scenery ❤😊 Have a great day ❤️😊
Sign, signs, everywhere there’s signs! Do this, don’t do that, read between the lines!!!🎶😊
The point of a rest area is so that people can rest and not drive tired. I think the sign is there so if the police want to make undesirables move along they can point to the sign. I would ignore it.
If it says no, then it's better to go. You're asking for trouble IMHO. I'm 71 and would not be staying where no body is around at all.
Waving hello 👋
Happy birthday 🎉
Hello Linda from the heart ❤️ of Illinois USA 🇺🇸
Linda, that song was by The Clash. 😊
The Clash,Should I Stay or Should I go!🎶🎵
You have done so well as a solo traveler bc you have a high level of common sense! ❤ I’m so glad you share that with your followers.
Awe Laura, Thank you so much for saying so. I appreciate it more than you know🤗🙏❤️
It was the Clash, who sang should I stay or should I go
Hey Linda, Watch Shepherds Chapel.They teach chapter by chapter and verse by verse.Great teacher Pastor Murray.
Why are you leaving your new home so much?
I you had to ask yourself that question so many times I say go! I’ve been watching you for years and when you know you know to stay

That’s hilarious lol the sign says no camping or overnight parking
No signs are a good sign , until people over stay and don't move , I move 3 × a day so not to ruin it for everyone else . Im waiting where ever I can legally :) shade is a blessing...God Bless
Id find a job near my home.

If there’s a hospital nearby that comes be a safe place too
if you want others to abide by rules for citizens....you have to follow them yourself : )
LOL.. I don’t look at this as a rule. I explained the reason for my dilemma in the video🙂
Sorry but the decision has been made there's a sign that says no parking then that's your answer !!!!
Interesting.. I’m thinking you didn’t watch my entire video before commenting. God bless you in your journey 🙏🤗❤️
I wouldn't stay😊 If it's written,it's usually for good reason. Not worth it.
I think I mentioned in video that I have asked permission from security in the past and the answer has been “no problem” rules change and signs don’t necessarily come down or I think I also mentioned they are to deter unwanted guests 😊
@@SereneandSimpleLife super. You know what's best for you.
I think I would move on. Stay safe!
I have stayed overnight where it was clearly posted no overnight as I was so beat and tried to park elsewhere but some weirdo kept turning his headlights on me I’d move he would too so I went to a manned rest stop no over night and slept I was beat ! Never got a knock whew ! And I’m a woman of God!

It's disgusting the land we pay for can't be used by it's citizens for how they please!
It's not wasting gas it's on and onward to the next destination in a nomads life ! Got any tips how your dealing w the heat ? I'm living in my honda odyssey and the heat is really a challenge !
I've had the knock at Walmart 😮
I would never take the chance after reading this sign. Why would I want someone tapping on my window in the middle of the night??? I believe you were getting an answer just being uncertain was your inner voice telling you to leave !
Perhaps it’s time to leave the state. For real.
Stay.

I don’t think this sign has anything to do with being a Christian or not. Not into legalism either.. God bless you in your journey🙏❤️🤗
@@SereneandSimpleLife - no you're right. The sign doesn't. And it's not legalism to follow God's word?? I'm not sure what you are saying?
I thought you got another job for the summer. Maybe I missed something.
If the next rest area/visitors center is on the way to the Job you are heading to then why do you consider that wasting gas? You are going in that direction anyway right?
Are you just waiting for a job to start?
Does the knock involve a ticket?
🤷♀️not always
The thing is, it's a rule. So personally I like to follow rules.
That’s upstanding .. I think I mentioned in video that I have asked permission from security in the past and the answer has been “no problem” rules change and signs don’t necessarily come down or I think I also mentioned they are to deter unwanted guests 😊
I think those signs are mainly there to discourage folks that try to stay longer periods, and groups that wanna pull up and put out chairs, grills and make a long-term situation out of it.
@@SereneandSimpleLife I'm glad you stuck by the rules posted. 👍
The sign is very clear. Why are you asking?
I mentioned the answer to your question in the video. Please watch the entire video of you really want to know😊
Ohh, boldfor Christ!
I personally wouldn’t risk it
LISTEN to your gut!! MOVE!!
I don’t understand the dilemma. If you a woman of God and it’s clearly posted then integrity would have you move on to a place that allows overnights. You already have the answer, move on. It’s not for you to guess that the sign might be out of date. It’s posted. Just move on.

It's not your place and not up to you to use God in such a way.
I encourage you to move on yourself, by finishing the video...
Linda did follow the sign and moved to another location.
If I’m a woman of God? Interesting take.. God bless you in your journey ❤️🙏🤗
Those were my first exact thoughts as well
Satan is the accuser. Only someone with hate and a Jezebel trouble making spirit would post such a ridiculous and judge mental comment. Troll elsewhere evil one. Spread your misery somewhere else. Remember, misery is optional. 😂😂
The CLASH are legendary
