    There's a gas station like a Conoco or something by the sawmill.

    You can drop your trailer and bobtail to go see the Rushmore heads. It's super close maybe 5-15 minutes.

    It was a Phillips 66
    But that big lot was near empty when I dropped mine and went. You could still park around on the road that goes behind. Plenty of room. IMG_20200713_094939090.jpg

    The old truck stop in Doswell, Virginia is right across from Kings Dominion amusement park. But most of the reviews lately on it have been negative. You have to pay to park and the facilities are kind of dirty.

    Theres a Sapp Bros and a Pilot off i80, exit 1 in Iowa.
    The Omaha zoo is right on the other side of the state boarder, maybe 2-3 mile drive. Bobtailed over while waiting for my trailer to be loaded. Beautiful Zoo.

    Not necessarily an "attraction", per se, but the Pilot in Bryant AR (I want to say x121 off I-30) is in walking distance of some good shopping, if you like Burlington, Kohls, Marshall's, that kind of thing. Eight miles up at the Love's you're again in walking distance to the Little Rock (Otter Creek) Premium Outlets, Bass Pro, some good eatin' and, if it's back open, a Dave and Busters.

    Don't even have to Uber it, park on the frontage road and walk 1 block, always a few dozen trucks parked along there, also a huge movie theater and Bass Pro Shop all in the same complex

    Pee Wee Herman hanged out with Simone at the Cabazon truckstop and met Andy there.

    Basketball Hall Of Fame in Springfield MA has a truck stop a couple of doors down. Admission was free. Lots of exhibits and an indoor basketball court to shoot hoops and post yourself up to some of the biggest men of your chosen era.

    Herbert Hoover Presidential Museum in
    Iowa. There's a small truck stop on I-80 that is about half a mile away. It was worth the walk.
