200 miles and 5 hours from our last stop - 1 night stay

Travelogue

Sunrise over Flying JSunrise over Flying JLA traffic is awful. It took us hours to get east towards Anza-Borrego. Rather than pay to just sleep, we found a Flying J in Thousand Palms to spend the night. It was already close to 6:00 when we got there, so must of the parking spots were already taken by 18 wheelers. Some Flying J's separate the commercial trucks from the motorhomes, but this one didn't. We managed to squeeze ourselves into the very last spot in the entire lot. The only reason it was still there was that anything bigger than us wouldn't fit.

At least there was an In-N-Out nearby, so I didn't have to cook dinner.

Description

Flying J's are Travel Plazas that cater to truckers and RV's. Their numerous services include gas, dump station, propane, fast food restaurant, limited groceries, and even showers and a barber shop. However, the best feature of all is the section for overnight RV parking.

They are conveniently located on most of the interstates (except for the northeast).
