Might be a little tougher to get to this median though, and trains rolling by have a little more romantic clout than endless cars on the freeway...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-28337998965292615372011-01-07T12:08:23.594-08:002011-01-07T12:08:23.594-08:00Now Christine, you know that median beckons for so...Now Christine, you know that median beckons for some lawn chairs, a tiki bar and flip flops.

Is it nice to get off the fast track and explore the back roads every now and then? You bet, but the fact that it is an option rather than a requirement, frankly makes it alot more appealing.<br />And as a final thought, if you really have to pee and the next exit is 20+ miles away, this is indeed an oasis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-22469618509725086982011-01-06T12:13:49.747-08:002011-01-06T12:13:49.747-08:00Too funny.

I'm amazed at how many highways are featured in PCs; I guess the interstate was a big deal when it was developed.Aimee Darshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808228065018937275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-56043666120801043582011-01-06T08:27:33.063-08:002011-01-06T08:27:33.063-08:00I notice that says Kodachrome Reproduction on the ...I notice that says Kodachrome Reproduction on the back -- take a minute to think RIP for that wonderful old film.

They also held most of the Major U.S. Park contracts for hotel and restaurant services (such as at the Grand Canyon where I was once employed). So in their opinion one of their restaurants was an "oasis" compared to the monotonous pavement of the freeway. I doubt hat they offered dates and figs at these... ;)Rob Kuntzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648200357715492214noreply@blogger.com
