RAWLINS, Wyo. — An intercom crackles through the air and someone makes an announcement: A church service is about to begin in the lounge.

The truck stop is filled by the clatter of tableware and the scent of bacon, eggs and other breakfast fare piled into steaming compartments on a buffet.

Past the dining area, past the gift shop stuffed with knickknacks, past the hair shop and the arcade and the bathrooms, the lounge door is marked by a “Drivers only” sign.

Later in the day, the small room, which has eight chairs and a television arranged against its walls, will be filled by people smoking cigarettes and watching the tube. There are knee-high ash trays scattered about.

But now there aren’t any fumes wafting through the stillness.

Chaplain Ken Clark says people don’t smoke during services, which are held 8:30 a.m. every Sunday at the TA Travel Center in Rawlins on Interstate 80.

I'm pretty sure I stayed at that one in Rawlins... I don't remember where, but I stayed at a big truck stop where there was a semi hauling a trailer specifically used as a mobile chapel.
