    But... but... this is not 321....:biggrin_25513: Do you mean 323? There's a FJ there... and that is a NO-NO place for me... This one is kinda close but not like that.... :biggrin_25512:
    Yeah.. Petro is nice but I can't get a free shower there.... besides, I am going north and wanted to drive all my hrs... arrived here with 17 mins left from my 11....

    And since I am here.... want to mention a wonderful thing that happened to me today... while I was driving, didn't notice I had only 7 mins left to drive till my 30 min break... :biggrin_2555: No idea where to park, no truck stop or rest area nearby.... I kept looking the mins counting down and thought I would have to park on the shoulder for 30 mins... :biggrin_2552: But "a voice" inside of me told me to skip the next exit and take the other next one... And so I did with no idea what I would find... And right there, at the end of the ramp, I saw a wonderful dirt area made for the construction folks who happened to be working on a street... There was no vehicle and nobody... just some materials on the ground ... and even a portable if I needed one... :biggrin_25519:

    The road to my left was closed.. so there was no traffic..

    A perfect place for a break.... couldn't have gotten anything better than that.... Sometimes I feel like there are "angels" looking over me and guiding me... :angel7:

    I went to that FJ only once for fuel and took so long to move around inside that maze that I decided NEVER go back there... I guess that is a real nightmare at night.... and no good place to park... :biggrin_25512:

    You would be right. I've been in some really congested truck stops, the Loves at Tom's Brook Va comes to mind, but that place is the worst

    Did a relay at 205 once. Walked in the chrome shop for laughs. After seeing those prices, I laughed.
