    That would make my mortgage payment. Well done. I'm envious.

    Except those bikes and the clothes worn by the rider can cost more than some motor vehicles.

    Parked at the Pilot in St George, UT for the night. Hell of a time getting backed in because apparently lighting costs too much money. A bit short of where I wanted to be but Saputo was a bit slow and CA traffic sucks.

    i really dislike st george pilot
    from the exit ramps with the circles to lack of parking
    then the store is crowded and small
    i sometimes just stop in Mesquite
    especially if it is dinner time at my sis in laws
    or exit 12 beside the Quality inn has truck parking for 8-10 trucks
    with all the stores across the street
     
    GabeScott and joseph1135 Thank this.

    At the Petro in Laramie. Wanted to go further but I said the hell with it. I had 30 minutes left. I don't remember what's east of here for parking anymore. I did make sausage tortellini for dinner tonight. Good stuff.

    Cheyenne is an hour east (45 min for you).

    I picked up a copy of "pocket truck stop guide" lists parking areas and rest areas along highways by mile marker.
    Helps a bunch with trip planning.

    Does not include picnic areas though.

    They are in most truckstops near the paper logs.
     
    joseph1135 Thanks this.

    I don't care what their bikes or their clothes cost, but anyone who can hammer a bicycle up a 7% grade on AZ87 in 110* heat with only about a foot of shoulder to call his own...I ain't calling that guy a wimp. :biggrin_2554:
