    The biggest drama is finding a rest area that you can actually get into when you need one!

    Ain't that the truth... pulled into one east of Flagstaff on the 40 two weeks ago with three minutes left on my clock. Thankfully this one has an auxiliary lot for overflow parking.

    Have only had one little incident in my whole 16 years at a quiet pickle park in TX.

    Something about the "7 P's"?????? :biggrin_25525: What used to get to me when I first started driving, was trying to find a spot to park for a short nap along I70 between Grand Junction and Denver at Oh Dark Thirty when I really had a hard time staying awake. What little rest areas there were would always be full. . .
