    Nope. FatDaddy caught it. Exit 291. Probably about the only Pilot in the country I'll willingly go park in when I'm in the area and in need. If I was down where you were at, you'd find me at the Wytheville TA.

    Now about to catch a few winks at the Carnesville, GA Petro before an early start :biggrin_25521:

    What's crazy is I won't set foot in the place half the time I stop here. It's got a huge parking lot with space pretty much 24x7 for low stress parking on the way into ATL. Even more crazy, it's a little over an hour from home. Most times, just not enough time to park in my rented spot, drive home and back, and so on before having to go out for a delivery. So I stop here and get some rest instead.

    That's the one that used to be a Williams, right?

    Waking up at the Bar B in Gordon, TX on my new truck's maiden voyage.

    I'm flying in stealth mode. They haven't installed the Teletracs GPS tracking/navigation system we use yet. ;)

    No prepass yet though, either. :(

    Make sure they don't forget to install the lighted Michelin man on the sunvisor when they put everything else in.

    I think so but don't know for sure. Pilot took over Williams before my time on the road. I do remember my trainer in 08 mentioning that he liked Williams and that you could tell all the old Williams truckstops because of the green roof? Which this one has and also the wider parking spaces tell me it was most likely not a Pilot it's whole life.

    Yep. Green metal roof means it was a Williams.
