    I'm parked at Johnson's Corner tonight. I never thought I'd say this, but I REALLY hope that Petro is waiting for the restaurant's lease to run out so they can turn it into a Iron Skillet. Either that or put in a Taco Hell or something, anything but the crap hole that's here now. I walked in, looked around, and just got a wrap out of the deli fridge. lol

    Also, why does Petro and TA stripe their parking backwards, forcing you to blind side into the spot?

    Anyway, small potatoes, but I really wish I would've stuck to my original plan and just pulled up in Cheyenne at the Loves or Flying J (not a TA/Petro fan).

    You'd be in the minority on that one. Johnson's Corner has good food, and the bakery is incredible. Should have given it a shot. Asian massage parlor in back of the motel right across the street too ;)

    You are in the minority with Johnny's you go upstairs and have them serve you food to order. It;s good and fresh. It's one of those truckstops that have done well since they were founded long ago. It's also very famous having been in at least one major film. I think Bill Murray wrestled with a Elephant once there in a scene related to the phone booth.

    Compared to the denver area stops (There is a little one across from the airport, a cookie to anyone who knows that one...) Johnny's is where you want to park and eat. It's exactly halfway between Denver and Cheyenne.

    I'll have to take your word for it regarding the bakery. I don't eat pies and cakes, etc...

    And, we'll have to agree to disagree about the restaurant's food. :)

    You should have, next door to the ConocoPhillips is a bar, cheap drinks, good food and cherries soaked in 5 different types of alcohol, And always something good on tv, if you like old cars.
    Plus the liquor store next door.
    And the Conoco has a great breakfast burrito.

    @Drpparker95 - cool place that Johnson's Corner Truck Stop.

    On another note; I wish Carl's Corner was still owned by Willie Nelson.
