    They already updated the restaurant there, sadly. Never been in the showers there though. I do love the blue-green roof tiles that place has.

    I was told by the lady running that place that this isn't a Pilot, no Pilot coffee or rewards, but the points for fuel and showers do load, and you can get a shower there from the system.. Just like Road Rangers, except that one is the only one.

    Now, on the other side of FT. Wayne, the Hubble House at the J is where I was informed that those franchises are no longer part of the PFJ corporate empire. BTW, I liked that one and they do have very good waffles at many of them. Took my wife there for breakfast on our way out east for vacation.

    TTT truckstop in Tucson is a heartbreaker....Best food ever, been there forever, all the pictures of famous folk on the walls, old school waitresses, sassy, bee hive hairstyle, hotel rooms upstairs etc etc
    They have to close soon, pilot moved in on top of them, owners say they aint gonna make it

    When I was at Central, the day came where they told us, 'no more fueling at TTT".....I was bummed...still bummed!!!

    I understand it all...But I dont like a bunch of it!!!

    I have fun, all things considered, but seeing her family is important to her. Maybe too important. Family is in PA, so I saw a lot of the Susquehanna Valley.

    I got sunburned and still peeling here and there while at Atlantic City, so I have finally been in the water at an ocean.
    I'm wearing a full wet suit in a reflective color if I ever get near a beach again, jk, but the surf came up while we were there, and I got burned on the side away from the sun(reflected off sand and water, I'm guessing).

    PA was pretty this year.

    Actually, they're those square tile ceilings. Several were hanging down to the point I wasn't sure what was keeping them up there.

    It's this weird 'any time of the day or night' driving(or maybe it's the ability (and curse of) to be awakened by anything at any time, but I really can't take that much sunlight. I was up by where Cranky hangs out the other night in the rain and I was probably getting burned from all of those LED billboards along I-41, they should dim those darned things at night especially when it's raining.

    I'm starting to believe in vampires:biggrin_2551:.
