I'd put Biltoki ahead of the Star or the NDH, but that's just me. As for McDonald's, yeah, there's absolutely no way you can beat the one in Tonopah, especially as far as pure weirdness of the menu goes, but why stop there? Why not open up on all fast food places? Then, you could throw down Arctic Circle in Elko, the westernmost home of "fry sauce". I mean, where else other than Elko can you get Mormon food and Basque food?

That's what I thought.

The music selection at the Flying J is definitely quite mediocre these days; once tapes disappeared, that seemed to be the end of them. Plus, gas isn't as legendarily cheap there as it used to be; these days, it's frequently cheaper in Elko or Reno. Even so, I'm still not sure I would push the Pilot. Yeah, the music selection is better, but it is a catastrophic hole of a truck stop past that. Instead, I'd probably go a little farther west and shoot for the Mill City/Puckerbrush TA/Arco truck stop - I mean, they have a Subway AND a Taco Bell! C'mon!

PS: We need some Lovelock love in there. I don't know how or where, but there has to be a way to weasel them in there, right?
