I guess we'll have to check with AAA to find out which rest stop's are open.

Who needs rest stops? There's plenty of trees by the highways.

There is always the NASA option. I seem to remember it working for one gal some time back...

Nothing new. I remember them closing a bunch of rest stops in Florida a few years back when the budget bottomed out. They weren't closed for long.
