I tried to get gas here, but I was attacked by Two Eagles. I know that everybody's heard about the bird, and that the bird is the word, but I was absolutely clueless. I am a little annoyed at the Native Americans for not telling me in advance this would happen to me. Then again they sell me cheap gas so I will let it slide this time. But next time it happens, I may challenge them to unarmed combat. Actually since it was eagles that attacked me and not bats, then maybe I'll challenge them to unarmed com-eagle instead.
Western Door is my fave Gas Station on this reservation. It's a little hidden away, about a mile west on Martin Rd just off Bloomingdale Rd. It's a couple of cents cheaper, and they let you pump before you pay, because they trust you (silly them). Then around the corner from this one (also on Bloomingdale) is the Rez Gas Station next to Big Bear Char Pit, which are a few cents more, and don't let you pay in advance, but have their pumps open 24 hr for credit card only (cash payments stop a little before 10pm).
However Two Eagles goes one better, and stays open around the clock, 24 7, for cash or credit payments, which is very useful. They're similarly cheap to the other two, and while coming in and out can be a bit of a zoo, and while you do have to pre-pay here as well if you're doing cash, they still get a 5 star rating for (a) being 24 hrs, (b) being fairly friendly, and (c) being 30 cents cheaper than most places in the region.
And anyway, I'd rather have two eagles than two iggys. One Australian girl singing "Work" and "Fancy" in a fake Memphis accent gives me enough of a headache as it is, I can't handle duplicity in this case. read more
