Terrible TA Rawlins

That TA was AWESOME when it had the buffet. I mean it was an awesome buffet.

Probably lost too much money when everyone got stuck there.

There are many times in life one needs to plan an exit strategy.

Especially in the winter in WHY-OH-MING. Perhaps some people need to sharpen their's?

 

People of Wyoming have very little sympathy for un prepared drivers in winter. Use to run Across that state twice a week for 10 years. A lot of truck drivers shouldn’t be in that state during good weather let alone during inclement weather. But yeah the T/A can get bad in Rawlings. unfortunately the state shuts it down at the drop of a hat because of the steering wheel holders that are so prevalent in the industry these days. Tired of 100+ vehicle pile ups mainly the trucks.

 

I was stuck there 4 days last winter after petro in laramie broke my truck. God #### wyoming

 

I remember getting stuck there when wind chills got down to -55 degrees F ten years ago.
40 MPH wind gusts made it feel like you were walking on the surface of another planet.

 

Bout usual.

 

Ate there many times. Was there again several days ago. Parking lot was very slippery.
Restaurant open until 8pm. I arrived at 8:09 pm.

 

One time I stopped there for the night on a beer run from bend, OR to Chicago. When I parked the weather was still nice, about 40, chilly but not bad. The weather forecast was calling for a dusting to and inch of snow.... WRONG. I woke up the next morning to a #### storm. The lot was packed like a sardine can, and the idiots in the fed ex trucks were stuck all over the place so bad they had to chain up just to get out of the lot. It was bad between there and Laramie but was improving as I got past elk mountain and once I got past Cheyenne it was good again. That has to be the most miserable state in the western US.

 

Wyoming, where we separate the truckers from the steering wheel holders, and the steering wheel holders from their trucks.

 

Well put sir.
