Nice Place To A Take Break

IMG_0473IMG_0474

Hello everyone, I found a truck stop that I have been stopping at in my Cascadia  worth noting. The  stop is called Newborn Truck Stop and is located at exit 5 on I-20 in Tallapoosa Georgia. The first thing that I noticed about this establishment was how big the parking spots were. Whoever designed the parking lot really understands how hard it can be to safely park a semi-truck at the end of the day. The bathrooms are very clean and the staff is very friendly. I did not use their showers, but if they are anywhere as nice as the rest of the truck stop you should not be disappointed. There is also a chrome shop that appears to have any of the bling you might what to add to your ride.

If all of this wasn’t enough, there is also a great sit down restaurant on the property called the Old Time Country Kitchen. The restaurant features down home country cooking. I  had breakfast here

 three times and enjoyed every minute of it. I plan on stopping at this stop in the future due to the great experiences that I have had so far. Stop in and maybe I’ll see you there.

Henry

  P.S. If you are planning to enter the contest to be the fourth Slice Of Trucker Life Driver, time is running out so, get your enrty in soon.
