Default Where is the BEST truck stop you've been?

In my limited experience, the Flying J at Mill Hall/Lamar, PA (I80 exit 173) is the nicest I've seen. Probably because it's new, but I've always been treated right there, clean showers, good food, no dead bodies, never seen a lizard. I like to arrive just before dusk to see the sun set over the mountains.

I'm a fan of the Little America in Flagstaff, AZ myself.

The Giant Truckstop in New Mexico before it was Pilotized

and

The Alamo Truckstop in Sparks, NV before Petro bought it out.

Petro has done less harm to the Alamo than Pilot did to the Giant.

I also like stopping at Iowa 80, Walcot, IA whenever I got the chance.

IMO, the following are tied for first place:

Iowa 80
The T/A in Breezewood, PA

I like White's in Raphine, VA.

There weren't too many that I thought were great. Most were just acceptable. Park, sleep, shower, leave.
