Sometimes you just need a bundle of firewood, or some ice, or a Slim Jim. Sometimes your camping trip changes course and you find yourself in need of something like that, and you breeze into a small town and get exactly that.
Be grateful in those times for places like this Sinclair-affiliated gas station. I was camped not too far from here and dropped in for some firewood. I think it was like $5 a bundle or so, which is pretty reasonable, and I grabbed a couple for camp. It's a decent sized store inside, so you can also grab all the necessary junk food, beverage, or whatever else will make your day. The woman in front of me in line was looking for an iphone charging cable and while they do normally sell them, they were all sold out. So even stuff like that is still possible to find.
And of course, you can find gasoline here as well. There aren't too many other players here in town, or anywhere along Highway 12, so if you need fuel in the tank and you're not sure if you should stop here or keep going, just err on the side of stopping. My mantra on these lonely Utah highways is that if you have a chance to get gasoline, get gasoline. Better to buy twice than run out and have to walk to buy once.
Let's road trip in the desert and stop here to get treats that we don't need. read more
