    TA in Tonopah , AZ...this place is huge! Still parked all the way in the back, just happy to be out of the land of fruits and nuts. Get up early and get through Phoenix before everything gets all super, thinking somewhere around Van Horn tomorrow night.

    The Pilot usually has some spots all the time. Or park in the McDonald's lot.

    Stopped at the Lee Hi in Lexington, VA. 9pm local and still plenty of parking. Guess the closure of the Roanoke TA isn't causing this place to fill up completely. 702 miles for the day. Tmobile has 4G LTE here. Pack is happy.:)
