Rest Areas.. What's not to like?

This is a picture taken of the parking lot at the Texarkana J at 21:00 on a Wednesday night.

Keep your parking lights on people!!!!!! You're idling your engine, or running your APU, even if not you can leave parking lights on all night and not have any problems starting next morning. It makes it easier and safer for others backing in and walking around and provides a nice ambiance to the lot.

Now watch ... everybody will 10 break with their headlights on high beam.

 

I think at one time or another, I've slept at all those places.

Here's a brutal irony, since being on e log, I rarely find myself in those places.

I've yet to cook out too since e log.

 

If I didnt fix the lights my companion would leave the low beams on all night. Lol.

I try to turn them off when fueling and backing if theres parked trucks in front of me.

One time I woke up in the middle of the night. The lights were on and the 4-ways still flashing away. The dude was sound asleep. Smh

 

Verizon works okay there. Next time, park at the Pilot or the Loves if you can and walk to the El Capitan Hotel Restaurant and Lounge. Good food and drink and interesting people. It's closer walk from the Pilot than the Loves, maybe 5 blocks from the Pilot.

 

There’s a bar next door.
Way way way back during my first week out with my trainer there was an 80 year old bartender in there and when she heard I was a green as you can get rookie she showed me her breasts.

 

Yes,theyre Nice...Except thats where I seen Dot Hillbilly Posse set up.Drive around the corner thru the Trees....SURPRISE! ...THERE THEY ARE...Flag you over and "start Shakin you Down",dont even give a chance to update your logs.When word gets around by CB where theyre at....They move to the East bound side....then 27 miles down the road.West Virginia was Pretty place,but this is what I remember.

 

It’s free in my eyes after the tolls I pay here in ny.
I pay higher tolls here at home and there is no free anything here.
Heck even on the Florida turnpike they have free windshield wash stations.

 

Tamarack?
