14 Arizona rest areas have been designated ‘Safe Phone Zones’ through the state’s first fully implemented public-private partnership.
A sponsorship agreement with GEICO is designed to enhance highway safety and promote the use of rest areas as “Safe Phone Zones.” This multi-year sponsorship agreement, through the contract with Infrastructure Corporation of America, will bring in much-needed revenue to the state’s highway system for reinvestment in rest areas.
In 1860, State Geologist Alexander Winchell reported that oil and gas deposits lay under Michigan's surface. First commercial production was at Port Huron where twenty-two wells were drilled, beginning in 1886. Total output was small. Michigan's first oil boom was at Saginaw, where production began in 1925. About 300 wells were drilled here by 1927, when Muskegon's "Discovery Well" drew oil men the country over to that field. The Mt. Pleasant field, opened in 1928, helped to make Michigan one of the leading oil producers of eastern United States. Mt. Pleasant became known as the "Oil Capital of Michigan." Efforts of the industry itself resulted in excellent state laws regulating petroleum output. Well depths range from 1,000 to 6,000 feet. New wells are constantly opened as exploration continues.

On Route 114 south of Gunnison, Colorado

Princes Highway between Officer and Pakenham. This predates the duplication of this section of highway, which was completed around 1978.
The old style fluorescent street lights suggest the rest area was built some time during the 1960's - these appear to have been disconnected.
This photo shows the former westbound rest area which has not been in use since the duplication and is now used to stockpile gravel

The last stop of the day, after seven hours of driving and 220 miles. Setting up camp in a rest area by Double Bunk Creek, at the intersection of M-90 and M-50.
The year had just rolled past solstice and normal sea-level sunset would be around 8:30 p.m. Here it was already dark at seven.

On the South end of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge there is a Rest Area with a gorgeous view of the sun rising over Tampa Bay. That is of course if you get a nice clear day. I got lucky since it was suppose to rain during my entire stay in St Petersburg.

Kniphofia Mango Popsicle - The very long, green leaves are spear shaped and arching. There are many orange, bell-shaped flowers forming a cone shape at the top of very tall, green stems. It was growing in a garden, near a building at a rest area along Interstate 81 in Virginia.
To see a close-up of the flowers follow this link:
