    The little truck stop in Hixton, Wisconsin! It has about 6 shower heads, newly remodeled, and costs $10.

    I posted about the Truckers Lounge in Wendover, NV awhile back. Free huge, clean showers, free coffee, a tiny c store, inexpensive laundry and LOTS of parking.
    It is old and showing age, but still well maintained.

    The Pilot in Midland, TX has some crappy showers. Barely warm water, not clean, pipes leaking, and over run by the oil drivers.

    I don't run I80 anymore but I used to stop there when I first started driving. It was in the casino truck lot and owned and run by them at that time. Was always better than a regular truck stop shower.

    TA in Battle Ground, MI. I'm impressed. A spotless truck stop with great showers.

    I took a shower on my 30 minute break this morning. I use my own towel, so I can't provide a sniff test for you, but the water pressure was phenomenal. WY I80 exit 103...? I think. Fly J.

    Don't forget the flip flops....

    Watch out for the showers at the TA in Corning, Ca. They'll give you 2nd degree burns every time someone else flushes a toilet. They don't know what a T & P valve is. I'm not giving away my favorite showers. The wait is already long enough!
