    I hope they rebuild. There’s nothing along there for quite a ways.

    I'm here because no one else pointed out the irony of "Sparky's" burning down.

    That is funny. I hadn’t thought about that in that way, there are a few “Sparky’s” around here and there in Iowa so we’re used to it. We actually got a Qualcomm message on that telling us to plan our fueling around. Mostly I’ll miss the potty stop and their chicken.

    Rockwell was the biggest of them and although the food was good I think the location north of storm lake on 71 had the best food and showers.

    I never got fuel there, but it was a good place to stop to pee and grap some food. Friendly staff too, and lots of old school truckers always hanging around.

    Hwy 20 between there and waterloo is a long and boring drive, i always stopped there to revive myself after driving that stretch. Will miss them.
