It doesn’t have to be real truck stops. Just pave or gravel some vacant land and allow truck parking. They could build them cheaper on the outskirts of towns. Many of us prefer to park on the outskirts.

I’ve had yard dogs offer to help before.

There is a reason that this positions are always open.

New trucks are fuel injected. So, shouldn’t have problems like carburetor engines.

I guess they have more confidence in diesel.

I had a sub there. It was good. Nice people. Free dinner for truckers on Thanksgiving. Good place to stage if delivering Boise or leaving Boise and low on hours.

Are you still in the mood for hiking? Are you at a truck stop? Perhaps you could purchase an air freshener. Also look out for honey bees. The farmers use them to pollinate their crops.

Most of the 5 through Central Valley is flat farmland. About the only bodies of water are the aqua ducts. The Flying J in Lebec has Mountain View’s, but no hiking that I am aware of.

There is a flying J off 5 in Kern county going up the grapevine. It’s going up the mountain. Take it before you get any further south because La area isn’t much fun.

That’s the Flying J in Lebec, exit 205. 4,000 foot elevation, so about 10 degrees cooler. It has a big lot. It’s the last place that you will probably find parking before LA. There’s a Pilot 30 miles to the south, mostly paid parking, and always full. Make sure you trip plan for LA. It could take 80 miles and three hours to transverse it, with no legitimate place to park.

Old School, is this you?https://youtube.com/shorts/Xhl-yTW9w2s?feature=share
