Looking to bypass Chicago by taking 74 out of Indy

Good assuming they don't have an event on that they have 200+ parking spots blocked off.

 

i74 x-149 leroy. loves & mom n pop trk stp bout 20 miles b4 bloomington.

 

then above waterloo ia is mom pop stop. think its wagon wheel cafe/ trk stop.maybe 20 miles. right where us 218 splits with us18/27

 

yep, new loves being built across the street from them. little bit of const. there but wasnt too bad last time i ran through. beats chicago anytime

 

There are two pilots on that exit as well. I did the one with the arbys several times for the b&g. One down the roads showers were fairly clean if I remember because you can only fit like 20 trucks.

 

They built a Kwik Trip on the east side of the freeway in Clear Lake. It has quite a few truck parking spots.

 

]No problem. The only time I've seen parking scarce there is during the bad winter storms.

BTW, the restaurant across the street, Grandma's, near the Pilot has the best food in Walcott. And a decent watering hole in the back of the restaurant.
