    They got me still here at WalMart, close on to 5 hours after I arrived. WalMart takes forever to unload pallets, and this trailer was floor loaded. I may have to file a change-of-address form.

    In any case, we'll probably see what Lee's truck stop has to offer. Never been there, but it's only a couple miles up the road.

    EDIT: Google satellite view says that Lee's itself doesn't really have a restaurant, but it is next door to a McDonald's. IHOP sounds pretty good in comparison, and I will probably mosey back up the road to Davy Crockett.

    Or you could ride a little farther down that road to Yoder’s Country Market. They have truck parking and really good food.

    They did last I was that way. Which has been quite a while. At least 2 1/2 years. It is a little steep to get in and out, though. But, the food was awesome!

    Decided to drop down 44 to 40 to avoid Vail and chain laws going to Vegas. Ill chain up when I got to but if I can go around I will, lol! Hate winter cold, makes all my joints and shoulders hurt plus my back with all that titanium the Government put in me. All that infantry stuff destroyed my joints. I tell younger folks to forget combat arms and kicking in doors and get a good technical job if they think about signing the dotted line. Im only 44 and feel 64, lol!
     
    dwells40 and ExtremeUnction Thank this.
