Favorite Rest Stop
 
Hi Everyone-

I'm compiling a list of the best rest stops for truckers in the US. What's your favorite and why?

Thanks,

Rachael

Iowa 80, Walcott, Iowa- truck museum and nice parking, shops.
Sapp Bros., Sidney, Neb.- best restrooms
Truckers Lounge, West Wendover, NV. - nice restrooms, Casino fun
23 Fuel Stop, Ottawa Lake, Mi. - nice steak, quiet parking

Ohio Turnpike rest stops…. if only there wasn't a cop every 10 miles.
Dysart's in Bangor, Maine. Was there in the winter a few times. Best "anything warm." http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...10/chatter.gif
Porky's, Hamer, S.C. -lots of goings on, and good food.
Charley's Country Corner, Grayling, Mi.- last civilized outpost, before entering Canada. :)

They got no ROADS in Tartuga! How can they have a rest stop?

Wonder if Rachael means Rest Areas or Truck Stops.... or both? I got some suggestions.

Hobo, I've seen you parked at Lions Club in Happy Valley, Mo. :)
Also, at the Walmart, Dollar General, Pickle Park, abandoned Chicken Coops, you are always at the Pilot, or the TA's, and you like to park on the highway rest stop ramp. :D

One of my often little known rest stops, is on the toll roads, where you cross into another state…
I like to pull over after you pass through the toll booth, and park on the side there, to get both my log books caught up. :)
I'm assuming that's what everyone else does too, that park there.

Guilty as charged... except for the Lions Club. (Lions Den?) Why would I want to stop and look at a bunch of LIONS???
