Our crews take great pride in what they accomplished here to provide a safe and sanitary restroom for travelers. New caulking, skylight sealing and repairs to the sewage system are just some of the many repairs.
The neighbours are not impressed that their once quiet neighbourhood has become party central for raven'.

Una àrea de descans o àrea de servei és una instal·lació pública pròxima a un eix de comunicació per carretera, com autopistes, en què els conductors i els passatgers poden descansar, menjar o repostar combustible sense desviar-se de la seva ruta.
Les instal·lacions solen incloure aparcaments per a automòbils i vehicles pesats amb estacions de servei i zones recreativa amb berenadors.
Moltes es completen amb petites botigues d'alimentació, premsa i components per a l'automòbil; restaurants; gasolineres, caixers automàtics; hostatges i punts de descàrrega d'aigües grises i escombraries per autocaravanes. En molts casos part dels aparcaments per a turisme aquestes coberts amb tejavanas metàl·liques que els protegeix de les inclemències del temps i la calor. De vegades el restaurant és construït com un pont sobre la carretera, sobretot en autopistes o autovies, proporcionant accés des d'ambdós costats de la carretera sense la necessitat de creuar aquesta mitjançant un pas inferior o passarel·la.
A França hi ha àrees de servei i zones de pícnic a tota la xarxa d'autopistes repartides cada 20 quilòmetres. Tots dos tipus també poden ser trobats en carreteres nacionals, sent menys freqüent que en autopistes. Són conegudes com aires i solen rebre el seu nom de la ciutat o poble més proper.
Perhaps the best shot I've taken with ATZ. I wish I could have scanned it right away, but we were on the road. Scanned two days later, it's already faded quite a bit and gotten those rusty marks on it. But I still like it.
Located in Dillon, SC, South of the Border is a Mexican-themed tourist attraction/rest stop/tourist trap that provides motorists with food, fireworks, an inn, and other forms of entertainment.
South of the Border was developed by Alan Schafer in 1950. He had founded South of the Border Depot, a beer stand, at the location in 1949 adjacent to Robeson County which was, at one time, one of many dry North Carolina counties. Business was steadily expanded with Mexican trinkets and numerous kitsch items imported from Mexico. The site itself also began to expand to include a cocktail lounge, gas station and souvenir shop and, in 1954, a motel. In 1962, South of the Border expanded into fireworks sales, potentially capitalizing on the fact fireworks were illegal in North Carolina. In 1964, it was announced that the route for Interstate 95 would pass right by South of the Border, with the facility being next to two exits and within view of the highway.[8] By the mid-1960s, South of the Border had expanded to include a barber shop, drug store, a variety store, a post office an outdoor go-kart track complete with other outdoor recreational facilities and the 104 feet (32 m) tall image of the mascot, Pedro.
Over the years, the billboards with messages some considered racist and offensive changed to become tamer but still funny. Schafer continued to deny his attraction was racist. In fact, he was known for hiring African-Americans, and even helping them to vote, and standing up to the Ku Klux Klan.
Initially, Schafer only employed sombreros and serapes to advertise South of the Border. Schafer went to Mexico because of his import business and came back with two men he hired as bellboys, who people began calling Pedro and Pancho. From there, the Pedro mascot developed. Schafer eventually created Pedro, to add to the exotic element and theme of the attraction. Pedro is an exaggerated, cartoon-like representation of a Mexican bandito. Pedro wears a sombrero, a poncho and a large mustache. Minstrel shows were still popular in Dillon County in the 1940s and 50s, at about the time Pedro was created and P. Nicole King argues Pedro embodies the way in which people exoticized Mexico or Mexicans at the time while also remaining intentionally campy. Pedro has likewise been referred to as culturally offensive, politically incorrect or racist. P. Nicole King described Pedro’s image as a “southern Jewish guy in brown face” that was perhaps made, partially, in Schafer's image. Schafer himself had previously dismissed criticism that Pedro is an unfair characterization of Mexicans arguing it’s a light-hearted joke. Today, all South of the Border employees, regardless of race, creed or color are referred to as Pedro.

May 26, 2016: We left Nashville the day after the funeral. My father has been remarking for years to go to the Smoky Mountain Knife Works. Since we were only about 200 miles from it in Nashville, we decided to make a detour to it.
Yet, this is a beautiful shot of the Caney Fork River. Anglers access the river from the joint I-40 rest stop west of Cookeville, TN. My dad and I hiked down to it. He reflected on it was just how a river should look to him. I liked the fog floating downstream.
