    Ya sorry I should have elaborated a little more. This truck stop ain't much of one and itis separated by a drainage ditch with an upper and lower parking lot, it doesn't have much room . it would appear as a place where bad things happen and the way it is designed, not much could be done. I didn't mean to come across wrong. Just most of the guys around here don't look like very nice people . A little shady of you will. I was really wondering of anyone has been here....is it safe

    We have left our trl. there for a wkend and nobody borrowed our stuff. You wil pay to park or buy fuel.
    Not much for food there though I believe. I think safer than the J or pilot

    Spent the night there once without incident. I have had plenty of experience there during the day and have never had a problem. Never even been panhandled.

    You can't walk from the fuel island to the fuel desk at the J without getting hit up.

    Be careful if you pull into the lower lot where all the old, run-down, buses are. Depending on how it's all sitting there, you may be lucky to be able to turn around. And even though you're paying, don't count on getting a spot after 9 or dark most nights.
