West Winds is at the east end of town. The place with the Arby's is on the west end. Or at least it was the last time I was there. Hhmmm.... don't think they've had a big enough wind to switch that around.... No, don't think so....

I passed right by you yesterday. I delivered in Katy and shot right up 45 to Dallas. I stopped there about 2pm for a bite to eat.

Dows Junction, IA I 35 x 159
The truck stop is brand new. It has a very big "COMING SOON" sign and a much smaller "NOW OPEN" sign that I didn't see until I had already commited to the state rest area across the street, which is the purpose of this post.
This may be the smartest truck stop owner on earth! I didn't drive onto the truck stop lot but it doesn't look like they have much truck parking, if any. Why would they? The almost as new rest area, directly across the street, has at least 60 huge truck spaces. The walk from the further of two very clean and well lit, concrete paved, state maintained truck lines to the front door of the convenience store is . . 200 yards, maybe? The truck stop has 5 or 6 fuel lanes (with pay lines, I suspect), so it would be very convenient to pull in there, conduct your business, pull back across the street and shut down for 10 hours. I didn't check for showers or laundry but the mensroom is big and clean. They have all the usual snack/soda/coffee crap as well as Godfathers Pizza (open), Arby's (tba) and an extra cooler door for those who may be inclined. The rest area facilities are clean and in excellent shape as well.
