    I don't think charge if you eat at the diner.

    They have a sign up that says pay, but I've never paid.

    I never ate at the truck stop so I had to pay to park. I always walked to the bar across the interstate

    I think you’re thinking of the tomahawk on I70 east of Denver in Watkins? Only tomahawk I know about anymore.

    You forgot to mention the 23 on I-68. Little tiny hole in the wall place, fairly well run down, but jiminy H tapdancing cricket on a pogo stick do they have good food. The signs say you have to pay for parking. If you spend *any* money inside the truckstop you don't have to. And I've been told they don't check anyway. The first time I parked for the night there, I didn't see the signs until I left the next morning. Nothing happened, no one woke me up.

    I'm trying to think which one that is, you're not talking about the one across from the Pilot in Grantsville, MD are you? They changed that one up. Now it has a Little Caesars and Ihop in there.
