"Humble in stature, these traditional rest areas, despite their charm, have become a relic of America's roadside past, unable to match the conveniences of modern day travel centers with their fast food restaurants, wireless internet, and large bathrooms."

Sad. We hit a lot of these between Los Angeles and Iowa. A couple of super nice ones in Texas and Oklahoma.

  There are some incredible rest stops in Texas. I've seen some pretty awesome ones in Arkansas as well.
