    Nope. Legit wild raspberries. I just wished I had a way to have picked them and get them home with me.

    Lol, I about spat out my coffee. A lot lizard by any another name is still a lot lizard…

    Granted Flying J, Pilot, & TA’s are usually crawling with them in the warmer months. One or 2 of these on your rig is usually effective at repelling them….

    I am surprised they can grow around a Flying Hook. Usually the bags of garbage, pizz bottles & other detritus is pretty heavy preventing much growth from anything needing natural sunlight

    I tried to avoid any of the “major” truck stops if I could. The only clean one I was in where new BUT I have been in some trashy smaller stops also.

    I have found just avoid the truck stops around major cities.

    the ones with fleet drivers going to distribution centers or large shippers (lumber or steel etc) seem to be the worst.
