General view of typical rest area, a.k.a. "Services". Familiar brand names make for soothing, welcome feeling.

This was the "toilet" on the women's side.

Curious little tree growing out of a rock...apparently been there since the 1800's.

We stopped here on our way to Burning Man in 2004, and decided to stop again this time.

At restarea Trunkelsberg. Unfortunately when it is pretty like this, it means usually an awful weather the next day... / Auf dem Rastplatz Trunkelsberg. Leider wenn er gar so toll ist, bedeutet das meist Sauwetter am naechsten Tag.

Above the cloud looks like a projector shining or evaporation upside down.

At this little rest area, there's a hidden waterfall in the picnic area. They don't really mention it on the signs for the rest area, it's only on one sign that's up the trail a ways. If you don't know there's a waterfall here, you'd probably never find it.

Northbound I-65 the Sunday after Thanksgiving. (Near Lafayette, Indiana?)

Or, as known outside my family, the rest stop outside of Buellton on the 101 fwy.

We have passed by this little stop for 40+ years. The restrooms had a makeover maybe 20 years back, and within the last two years they started to be squeaky clean once again.

The site also holds special significance for me because of what's nearby. Just to the north, and only when traveling north, is a short tunnel which my grandfather helped build. This rest stop was their camp during the building process.
