Camp Shower

The truckstop has a medium lot and can handle about 50 trucks.   The lot is dirt which I really dislike as all night long as trucks are coming and going our truck gets covered in dust.   The weather was really good and if it had not been for the dirt lot I would have liked to have left the vents open.   We needed a shower and as usual I was a little suspicious of an off brand truckstop.   The showers were reasonable, five dollars and if we needed another towel they wanted one more dollar.   With a little trepidation I entered shower number one.   I chuckled a little when I looked inside and what appeared to be a long hallway with stalls and immediately thought of summer camp.   This shower must be old as this room could have easily been made into three showers instead of one private shower.   When I closed the door I had to laugh at the homemade signs posted.

The nice part was the shower was clean and well lit and I enjoyed a nice hot refreshing shower.  You never know what little gems you will find when you stop at the smaller non chain truckstops.
