After driving four hours across Iowa, it was time to take a break. This stop doesn't look like a…read morestop, because there is a windmill arm towering out front. Indeed, the rest stop is themed to educate visitors about windmills, which are prevalent in the adjacent two counties. Adair County hosts one on the largest wind farms in the country. And I could see why as it was very windy out. The rest stop is new with picnic tables under windmill themed pavilions. The building with restrooms is filled with windmill art and factoids throughout. The stop is immaculate and offers state maps. The art was designed by David Dalhquist with others assisting. There is a small playground for toddlers so they can work out pent-up traveling energy. (If only they could harness that energy.) Inside, there is a bank of vending machines. Parking for cars and trucks is limited, but was not crowded during my visit. The building and lots are handicapped friendly. There is a pet walking area. I like stops that teach about the surrounding area. The windmill stop is interesting and worth checking out.

As always, wish people would pick up after their dogs. Facility is clean, lots of travel brochures and free coffee too. The grounds are beautiful, and spacious. There is plenty of room to stroll, let the dogs sniff and explore (on leash) and burn off energy. Take a walk up to the metal sculptures behind the facility for a perfect photo opportunity - the dog photos in the sculpture trails were some of the favorites from the trip. !! Welcome to Missouri - the woman staffing the office was really friendly and helpful. We chatted about the Budweiser Clydesdale art piece and how our former show Dalmatian was mom to two of the dogs on the rigs. Beautiful sight and would recommend stopping past on your way south.

Having endured rest stops across this great land-- from porta potty hellholes in the desert southwest, to Rest stops that look more like a miniature strip mall, completely indoors and insulated from the weather, with a couple of fast food places and a gift shop-- I've seen them all. This little spot off I 29 actually had grass and vending machines and doors on the stalls. I know... You read that like it's a thing, but trust me it is. Look, I'm not staying the night here; just stopping to get a little bit of relief before our next opportunity to fill up the gas tank, figuratively and literally. Oh, and the kids always want to stop no matter how recently we just did. But as places to "drop off the kids at the pool" go, this one isn't bad. I always wonder what these places look like in the dead of winter, as we always passed through in the summer months. Then again, maybe it's best that I don't know. As others have said in other reviews: "I would totally deuce here again." Nuff said.

Maybe they will do better since we all know who is getting paid to do the work. I was shocked at the pet area. I thought the wind had blown the pet sign because it was pointed towards the freeway where there is a small strip of maybe 3ft of grass between the car and truck parking. I thought my husband was joking around but then he pointed to another sign that designated this weird little grass strip as the pet area. Next to the car park is a huge grassy area no pets allowed. How strange. I guess People around here don't appreciate their pets.

This rest stop is clean inside and out... I've stopped here several times in the past month. Twice I've slept here from being too exhausted after Contracts to get all the way home. I've never had one problem with safety or anything else to that matter. Thank y'all for doing such an awesome job.

Thank you from the travel gal that probably drinks too much coffee...
