    Yeah that 76 is definitely a classic! I like a lot of the good ol desert oasis truck stops. Not any one particular but they just all seem to be straight out of a movie! Some of the mom and pops in Louisiana have some really good southern home cookin! I love bayou food! Some good BBQ stops too, like in Tn, GA, NC.

    I have not been to Hood's in some time but it was always a good place to stop. They did have fuel boys pump your fuel for you too. Family run place.
