As soon as I opened my cab door, I was greeted by the unmistakable aroma of a barnyard -- nothing like eau de cow pasture to set the mood. Parking is free and there's space for about 20 trucks, but bring your chiropractor: the lot's cratered with holes deep enough to eat a steer tire. The one bathroom is "clean-ish"... if you don't look up. The exhaust fan has so much dust hanging on it I'm half convinced it's alive and plotting its escape. They say they have showers, but I didn't dare investigate. To get to the bathroom you walk through a closed-down restaurant, which feels less like a truck stop and more like a post-apocalyptic scavenger run. The hot case food looks like it was cooked days ago and left on display until someone's brave enough to gamble their GI tract. Even the prepackaged stuff and milk had expiration dates in the rearview mirror. Oh, and yes, there's a motel attached with weekly rates -- if that doesn't paint the picture, nothing will. Bottom line: free parking, but everything else is a dice roll between "mild inconvenience" and "questionable life choices." Two stars because I didn't die. read more

No toilet tissue or paper towels in women's restroom. When I told the clerk she never acknowledged I said a word. I went to the McDonald's side & told a clerk & she informed that it wasn't their bathrooms. I'm sure their customer use them also. I told her an elderly lady was in there having trouble. She then walked to the store clerk. There were only extra large cups at soda dispenser. All clerks were either on their phones or talking to family & friends. This use to be a nice stop but no more. I'll be sending a complaint to McDonald's also. read more
