    There's a couple of spots in between, like some shoulder parking in Glenwood Springs across from a little filling station, but yeah, besides rest areas (which I used all the time when I was through there on a regular basis), the pickings are slim.

    I think I-70 in CO and UT is why, to this day, I can't be in the truck unless I have real meal-type food on hand.

    Oh McCain's in GI. I was loading there for about 2 months straight this summer. Not a bad place really, never really had much wait time there. That Wal Mart in NP is honestly the only one I actually like going to.

    Ho ho ho...I'm picking up a Mechanicsville/Lenoir/Abingdon load in Breezewood today. Can anybody give me the skinny on the parking situation pre and post delivery at Mechanicsville and Lenoir?

    The wife got me a Cobra 29 LX!

    what the hell type of load is that??? Tyson?? anywho, what screwed up routing but you can't park at Mechanicsville, the closest place is T/A at Ex 89 on 95.... Lenior i've never been but i'm still shocked at the routing of that load, please tell me you at least have it backwards or something, that is horrible!!!

    Actually some routings tell you to go through DC and down 95 to Mechanicsville, and to those I want to practice long range shooting with! I gave Brian the skinny for parking in Mechanicsvilles which I hope he got in time! I can't remember the places name in Lenoir but from what I remember there is parking available. Abingdon will not let you park in the lot but I've talked to have said there is a dirt lot we can park in but they failed to mention where it is. Sorry if my spelling is off today, I dang near hacked off both of my thumbs this weekend so thumb typing is somewhat of a challenge. Guess I should've waited to carve up the smoked turkey and pork loin BEFORE I broke into the New Belgium winter brew pack!
