    Thank you Red... :biggrin_25519: I saw those on Google satellite... but considering that area, how busy it's and that I'll need to park for over 34 hrs, don't know if they would let me stay there for that long... And once parked, I don't want to keep moving around... specially because of this elog... :biggrin_2552:

    Thanks a bunch... :biggrin_25519: I checked that one too and all the loops to get in and out... Very congested too... :biggrin_2552:

    Yes... I think you are right... :yes2557: TA may be the "best" option for a 34 reset... So I don't have to worry about some security telling me to move...

    Hey... thank you very much for all the ideas... :biggrin_25519: I checked those routes too... so I could have more options... But those would add more miles to the trip... Although I have taken 34 resets at rest areas before, that's not ideal cause I like to buy bags of ice for my cooler and I like to have a restroom when I stay for that long...
    I think will park at the stinky TA... and then I will be about 65 miles from my delivery... :yes2557:

    I appreciate all the info and help... :smt023:smt045

    I ran almost all my 11 today and parked where I wanted... congested TA in OH... just because there's a tiny stinky Pilot across the street and I really needed to take a shower and wash some light clothes in the sink... Now I am trying to eat my super HOT and salty meal before I get at least 4 hr sleep...

    It's going well, but this is the weekend of what should have beens. My Friday drop and hook load turned into a 4 hour live load, and today's drop and hook has turned into a 5 hour wait for a live load. My schedule and my home time just got shot to hell.
