A comment on older truck stops...some are still around. Traveled to a northern state, pulled off the highway into (shall remain nameless) because we needed gas. Odd feeling began as the clerk started to watch us with binoculars as we pulled up to a self serve pump, went inside to pay (credit swipe "out of orederr" according to sign). Clerk wearing unzipped pants and a gun belt(no visible weapon in either case)...decided to drive on and left on the fumes in our tank...two guys came out of stop and stood there and waved...kind of a northern version of "Deliverance".....yes, this happened in 2008.
