    Even new Loves have the same 'old' looking showers. No update whatsoever. And I'm not a big fan of bringing wet dirty towels through the store to put them in the hamper by the counter. For how much we pay for fuel to get those free showers, they should trust us not to steal the towels.

    We leave the towels in the showers... And I must admit, the showers at Pilot/J are in the same category and we don't fuel enough at the Petro/TA chain to use the showers much there... And we weren't really impressed with them either... You're right though, no restaurants besides Chester's, subway and the other usual suspects... We cook in our truck though, so that doesn't bother us at all.

    At Ceva in Auburn, WA for the night. Wife got food poisoning thanks to the Wendy's at the Pilot in Dunningan, CA. Going to sleep here for the night then take her to the doctor in the morning.

    We shower at the Flying J/Pilot. Most of them have updated bathrooms. TA/Petro bathrooms are dated. Never tried a Loves shower.
