Columbia County Roadside Rest Area — Local services in Mifflin Township

This will be my first and last time I stop here and will not recommend...

Usually PennDot does a relatively good job but they really messed up with this rest stop.

Second, woke up in the morning to use restroom but restrooms were "temporarily closed". And I couldn't drive either due to no HOS. If PennDot expects us to follow the HOS regulations, then they should do their part and at least put up a sign on the interstate notifying drivers what to expect at a...
