Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico seem to have a problem. There used to be rest stops between all the major cities on the Front Range, many have closed.

It was around 3 p.m., I was passing mile 500 for the day, and my knees were screaming.

. There was one just south of Castle Rock, and another between Colorado Springs and Pueblo. They were well kept and well used, and neither exists now. The one in Castle Rock had a reputation for being used to procure drugs and sex workers; construction vehicles parked there for a while; now apparently it will be available just to put chains on.

Truck stops don’t cut it. To get to the restroom, you often have to buy something, the parking is inconvenient, and there’s nothing to rest your eyes on but temptations to consume sugar- and fat- laden snacks and junky souvenirs.
