Marilyn I have no idea where you dig up this stuff. I loved the rest stops. The one with the tepee was great. What that article doesn't tell you is that rest stops were public urinals and often had used condoms on the tables and broken beer bottles on the cracked cement. There was almost always someone who carved out their defunked love interest on the table and then your drink fell over. How do I know all of this---ugh I worked in one.
