Nice pit stop. Clean bathrooms and tins of food options to load up on. It is in the middle of everything so gas is a bit pricier. This was James deans last plane to stop at i believe, theres a memorial of him inside.

Great store. Every time I go north for a job this is my usual pit stop. Local grown nuts and other products simply just taste better than store bought garbage 👍👍👍
