dear ellen soon to be on the road
we found T / A Truck stops to be clean friendly and reasonable for showers
even let us shower together in one stall
only place it was not a good experience was on I 90 east of seattle
flying J was often not a good experience for us and the Iron Skillet --
well we tried once .. never to return
shower price in 2007 ranged from 8-12$ --
two different trips Powel River BC to pemberville ohio --
both ways ...
once on 30 east/west once on 10 east /west
yours
