    I have a load of furniture going to the Corte Madera Town Center for a 6 am delivery on Monday morning. Of course they don’t allow overnight parking. I’ll be coming up I-5 from the south. I see that Flying J and Loves are 95 miles out in Patterson. Any suggestions for my Sunday night stop?

    The only other place I can think of would be Joe’s travel Plaza just north of there on I five with a couple of places to park… That would be pretty much the closest you’re gonna get to the Bay Area

    My choice would be to reserve a spot at the J, then head out at 0400.

    Also be aware you will have boo-coo trucks to compete with all making monday AM deliveries and staging. FYI Vanco truck stop Hwy 4 just west of I-5 in Stockton

    You can try-
    The first exit as you come off the San Rafael bridge - I think it's for San Quentin - or the northbound scale @ San Rafael, which I believe would have you doubling back to Corte Madera.
    When I have time I'll try to think of a couple more options

    Awesome! You'll probably be able to find some good food within walking distance.

    You can do that. If you get in a bind, there are several wide pull outs. It's not ideal, but depending on the time you get in the area, it can work. The TS's in Tehachapi fill up pretty fast.
