    I had a driver pull into a pilot affiliate somewhere in New England. Asks me how the showers were. I hesitated and said they ain’t bad, but your asking the wrong person. I’d be happy with a 5 gallon bucket of warm water. He says I remember when you put quarters into the showers and turned the nob. We both laughed. I’ve seen only one myself, but I understood as he said he was showing his age.

    A sign that says....."No trucks beyond this point. No exit. No turn-around"
    The sign is usually far enough down the road in a spot that wouldn't allow a turn around anyway.

    The city of Superior, WI. Has a BIG shop about a block past on intersection JUST LIKE this description. Where they house\service their City plows and other equipment as well as the school district buses. I tend to just drive right by these signs if I know where I'm going and that I'm not going to take a wire down or rip up a lawn.
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

    Iput off getting a cell phone for several years, and wouldn't mind at all going back to the so called old school days with out them. There is something to be said for everybody and there dog not to be able to keep tabs on you every 10 minutes.

    In Alaska, we do not have what is called a truck stop in the lower 48, that said most laundry mats and some convenience stores / gas stations have showers. Most you need to bring your own towels, and very few clean after every use.
    The first time I came up here I went to a laundry and didn't think about towels until too late. lol
    It was also coin operated and I found out the hard way that when the coins run out the water stops. It sucks looking for quarters whis your eyes full of soap. lol
