This Marathon gas station in the middle of nowhere gets a star on the map. We drove the "backway" from Bradenton to Ft. Lauderdale. On the way back my son insisted that we pull over at this gas station with a sign for "hand dipped ice cream." The gas station bathrooms were exceptionally clean. The whole place inside of the store was unusually clean. We did not expect this. The ice cream counter featured very high quality hard packed ice cream in around 20 or so flavors. The Key Lime Pie, Moose Tracks, Carrot Cake, Twixie/Caramel flavors we tried were exceptional. (We once drove 80 miles each way across Florida to try out a new ice cream place).

What a surprise! 1 scoop waffle cone $5.99, two big scoops $6.99. Gas was about a dime more expensive than nearby...

They also had gas and full power with a nice big lot to get your vehicles in and out easily. Will stop here again when...
