I 24 Rest Area Jasper — Local services in Jasper

I travel by myself. And doing so is why I do post like this one. I went up above this area for a weekend trip. When I pulled up I saw a little man with a child walk past my car. I even wonder the weird dude. When I walked out he was using a broom to knock bugs or webs are maybe something that he saw. Got a drink, and snapped the night vision tab on camera got this picture. I sat down in my car, and before I could turn it on. He tapped on my window. He said I had to move I was in a handicapped parking space.!!! Really...why.? Your not handicapped.. I have a rearview hanger. And tags. Your not handicapped I saw you.... Do all handicapped people have this problem. Yes I am and not all are visible. And consider my self as an advocate for handicapped people. Rude.. I left anyway but not...

This is one of the rest stops along my route from Illinois to South Carolina. Hands down, this is the best rest stop in all five states I pass!!

It's clean every time I come through- no matter the time of day-, my dogs love to try to drag me down the hill, and every time I go to buy something out of the vending machine, it ALWAYS works and has what I want in stock!!! (That strawberry lemonade stuff for 1.75 is the bomb tho!)

I love this stop so much my family even jokes about it when we start going town the mountain grade, because we all know my stop is coming up!

Even if I don't NEED to stop, I do, every single time I'm going by.

And on a 12-15 hour drive, that...

This has got to be one of the nicest rest areas I've ever stopped at. It's right on the river. Which is perfect because as I crossed it, I wanted to stop for some pictures, and they don't usually make it this convenient for you.

They have an area for campers to stay as well. Normally, I would never want to camp in a rest area, this one, I might make an exception for.

I ended up staying here for 45 minutes and that's unheard of for me. It's that beautiful. I will be sure to stop here again...
