I was on a mission of mercy. A close friend needed a lady and her goods to be transported cross country. I found myself hauling a good sized trailer on I-40, looking for a gas station with easy in and out. I stopped at Meteor Crater rest stop to give everyone a break. As I came out of the facility, I asked a gentleman who was uniformed as staff, where the next truck stop was, because I was hauling a good sized trailer. He graciously told me that there was one at exit 255, about 20 miles further east....
