Here ye, here ye:
Flying J's is the truck stop of all truck stops and 111 miles into my 212 mile journey to my parents' house...thus a perfect restroom break. Ellensburg is consistently windy and unpleasant smelling, so a positive rest stop experience is always appreciated. There's about 6 conveniently located gas stations when stopping in Ellensburg off 1-90, and it didn't take me long to determine which one was a permanent installation in my routine.
This stop has tons of parking and the average traveler can benefit from the roomy turnaround areas for semis. There's a small diner/"cafe" attached that I've unfortunately never had the time or courage to try. The bathroom stalls are amazing with floor to ceiling partitions, thus making them more like bathroom rooms. They've got an unparalleled selection of leather 'USA' jackets and an expansive electronics department for your CB needs. Cassette tapes, CD's, tools, junk food, camouflage apparel...they've got whatever you need (provided what you need ISN’T Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi). Most importantly, they've got a crowd for the ages; both in customers and staff.
Thanks for all the years of bathroom breaks and soda, Flying J's.
