Where am I?

I thought I would try something out, since I am back out on the road driving around the country again. Today, I am in Walcott IA. If you have never heard of Walcott IA, it is just over the border from Illinois on I-80 at mile marker 284. Why is this significant? Because tonight, I am staying at the "World's Largest Truck Stop"...and let me tell you,this place is a CITY all by itself! They have a showroom with 3 full-sized semi's IN THE SHOWROOM!!! Let me put it too you this way - the showroom and store alone are the size of 5 Super-Wal-Mart's!! ADD to that,the restaurant, the barber, chiropractor, dentist, full movie theater...3 stories...it even has a Pooch-o-Mat - a place to wash your dog/car while you are on the road! Over 200 acres of facilities here...UNREAL!

Being back on the road has its good points and bad points. Good points - I am able to just drive and "be" which is nice. Bad points...I miss home..Maybe its because it still new, even though I have done this before but i still miss some of the creature-comforts of home. I miss being able just to turn around and be at my server, or sit on the couch with the laptop..but overall, I am doing just fine. As I get to places with internet, I will upload and do more updating. Will try to get a truck picture tomorrow.

Good night all!
