    Tire
    Tire chain tools? You get a cam tool with purchase of chains. Unless you buy cheap cam less chains.
    I need to poo.

    Yeah it's like a mini hammer or a "T" tool for tightening chains. It's bigger than the normal ones so you have more leverage, and it's red so you can still find it if you drop it in the snow.

    They completely remodeled the bar. Some of the people said they liked it the old way because it was a dive bar. Whatever that means. I like the new bar. Before I could never get a seat, always had to sit in the chairs. Every time I've been there since the remodel, plenty of room. They also have live music every night now I think. If your coming from the dalles I84 take exit #17 (same exit as the truck stops) go past the truck stops and head west on Marine Drive. Take that all the way around you'll go by the airport along the river. Goes around the back side of Jubitz. You'll save 45 mins. to an hour not sitting in traffic on I84. Turn left when you get to the 4-way stop.

    I took 205, to Martin Luther. Not a very big lot to me.

    That's the only bad thing about that place. Even worse when its raining and dark. You have to get out like 10 times to look...or you should anyways.

    I went to the ponderosa, but the prices are crazy. I was not paying $18.99 for a big burger meal.

    The museum was interesting.
    The jubitz mud flaps were .05 fuel discount if you grabbed some.
    60 modern trucks emits the same emissions as 1, 1989 year truck?

    Just stuff on the wall, and 2 old trucks. In the lobby of the restaraunt.
    Pretty much a tourist attraction now, of what a truck Stop use to be, or should be.
