okay then Rob, my comment about the BBQ beef sandwiches is applicable - they are sold at Centralia. If you are planning to stop right around there, go ahead and enjoy one (they TASTED wonderful), but if you've got 100 more miles to go, the next 20 will be... interesting. I say this as not the only person I know who has had subsequent digestive challenges riding after eating one :-)
STP-provided food quality varies. Just sayin'. Lots of convenience stores on the route to make up for it. Lynne F On Jul 14, 10:58 pm, Rob Harrison <robha...@gmail.com> wrote: > I love this list.
