What part of "only" don't you understand? Are you supposed to place only plastic or only glass in the one slot. Photo taken at a rest area on Interstate 5 just north of Sacramento. Calif.
Iowa has redesigned most of the rest stops on I-80. The one at Mile Marker 270 Eastbound incorporates the "Underground Railroad" theme with "secret messages" in quilts references. The main building looks like a train station with "tracks" on the sidewalks. Quilt replicas are placed in and out and about. History of the Underground Railroad is emphasized. A very nice spot to stop and reinvigorate on a long drive!
I remember looking at this view when I was a little girl and we used to travel down to WV to visit my grandparents. Then it was just a truck rest stop with no amenities, now there is a full rest area with a visitors information center, a separate building full of vending machines and CLEAN bathrooms. There is also several picnic tables scattered about and a dog walk. The Youghiogheny Reservoir and teh river flows north through Maryland into Pennsylvania to join the Monongahelia River and become the Ohio River. Which then flows South into the Mississippi River and eventually empties into the gulf of Mexico.
I always try to make it straight to Portland without stopping, but since it was such a gorgeous afternoon I thought I'd stretch my legs for a bit. This is where I landed.
