Jug-a-Lug
I stopped because of the Jug-a-Lug sign. But I made the image because of the state of that building with the boarded over windows and the (probably ineffective) patches.
So my Very Important Lesson For The Day© is that sometimes the thing you think you need to photograph is actually the thing that leads you to the thing you need to photograph.

Security Dog
You know how sometimes you go to an unfamiliar town and it feels comfortable and happy and friendly and you say to yourself, “I think I could live in a place like this!” and then you spend a happy few minutes imagining your new life in this magical place?
This was not that kind of town.

Outta the Creek
My guess is that the author of this sign was not referring to literal pigs, or a literal creek. Or literal water, for that matter.

Inspiring Rest Area
At a certain point, I suppose, the question becomes “Why stop at a regular rest area, when we can stop at an inspiring one?”
Another question would be “What, exactly, even IS an inspiring rest area?” And also “Do I need to be inspired, or do I just need to pee?” And these questions are followed by “Why I am asking myself all these questions?”

Hopper
This trip – a journey, really – that I went on in October was nearly 1,700 miles of driving and very nearly (it felt like) that many u-turns. This is but one example of something that caught my attention, but that didn’t catch it in time to just turn off the road like a normal person. (Doing anything “like a normal person” is not something I generally do anyway.)
