Parachute, CO is a good stopping point along I-70 to get gas. The Paradise Shell station (Yelp…read morestill thinks it's a Texaco but it's been rebranded) is now on my short list of good places to stop if I'm topping off before making the climb over the passes or I need a bit more gas to get me to Grand Junction if I'm heading West. The gas pumps were easy to get in and out of even with a smail trailer, and the restrooms were clean. (My 3 year old didn't say they were yucky and he's quick to complain if a place has dirty bathrooms). Inside you'll find a typical C-Store with a slightly expanded range of offerings from coffee (They had a Douwe Egberts machine) to hot dogs. They also have a Subway franchise location here. 3 Stars.

This is a gas station. There are many like it. Without gas stations, my car is useless. Without my…read morecar, gas stations are useless. Look, I know that some of you Yelp purists out there cringe when you see a review of a gas station. I find them incredible useful particularly when I am a long way from home. So if you have a long way to go, and a short time to get there, I suggest taking the Parachute exit and stopping here. As gas stations go, this location isn't particularly spectacular. There are a good amount of pumps, and navigating in and out is pretty easy. It is one of the first stops for many miles so it does get full. What sets this gas station apart is the view all around you as you pump gas. It is most certainly spectacular. This boy from below sea level hates waiting around while the tank fills. In this instance I didn't mind one bit. The view of the mountains made sure I was mesmerized while I waited. In summary, come here to get has and check out the scenery.

I needed to get out of town for a bit to clear my head. I decided to go out west and came across…read morethis store. It has almost everything. There is personal care items, home decor, pillows and throw blankets, some clothing, cleaners, kitchen ware, food, drinks, frozen food, canned food, movies, trash bags, you name it. I have to say I was impressed because the town is a 'blink and you will miss it' kind of town. To have this big of a store seemed unique. They are open until 10pm many nights too which was surprising. However, I knew I was in small-townville due to the BIG Chevy truck that pulled up with no muffler being as loud as can be. There is a private parking lot too. This may be the 'place to be' for some. The lady was helpful when I asked but not super attentive unless you ask. If you need specialty items, this is NOT the store to go to. Though it is a Dollar General, many items are $2, $3, $4 and $5. These are still good prices when I compare to where I live currently. Not even Walmart is that cheap! Overall I was happy, especially to spend $80 with a full grocery cart. I also noticed there is no cell service in the store or on the street. It may be my provider, but it is a small town, so not surprising. I am sure I will return to the store one day again.
