    Wish I could say the same about the lizards. They start out begging a lot then add in, "I can make it worth your while sweety". Yeah right. When my tool falls off is that worth my while? :biggrin_25524: At least at the truck stop I mentioned, they have a cattle guard you have to cross to get in the parking lot so the fat lizards will get stuck and the ones on crack will fall through. :biggrin_2559:

    been closed over 5 years now--just sayin:)
    Lee-Hi still there folks just as nice--restaurant ain't what it used to be--but still better n most
    As for upper east coast--original Nets was great--but not what it once was--Dysarts still topnotch if u get up that far
    As for one for the old hands how about the "original" General Trexler Stop-- outside of Allentown on 22--Many many
    Great memories-)

    other than some random acts, that i have only heard or read about. 99% of the truckstops, you stop, you sleep, you get up, you go

    no problems

    then again, i usually arrive about 0100 and leave at 0600, i dont like hanging at truckstops except to handle business and keep it movin
