Stinky parking lot from all the truckers peeing in it. Dog poop in the grass. Building is closed and parking lot was full. We kept on rolling to find another spot to park for the night. Could be a great quiet place to park in the future.

A rest area with a hiking trail? Who would've thought? Very nice facility with clean restrooms and covered picnic tables outside.
