Fabulous visit to a gas station after wonder time in Indiana dunes national park. Welcomed with warm smile and greetings by the lady name Debbie (not exactly but name started with Deanna? ) then impressed by the job posting which said journey maker wanted and shinning clean bathroom with nice mirror for ladies. Then Jerry helped me get hot water and use the microwave to heat up my own herb tea. Enjoyed soothing ramen noodle while charging my phone as the views from Indiana dunes and Lake Michigan deserve millions pictures and videos… we came in as strangers but left as friends:) thank you 🙏 you are the journey makers and also make our journey better …

Let me start with I've bought fuel and parked there for years, but never again after being told to leave along with other drivers that were parked in the usual spots we use when there normal 5 and 1 handicap are taken. A complete boycott shall be done. To the owner, put up no parking signs and that way we won't get woken up from our much needed rest! Amazing how quickly we lost our appeal as essential workers since covid ended. Me and all the drivers that work together will never use this facility again, period!
