Only, exiting is too much of a pain. I get it. Solution: Take the Des Plaines Mobil Oasis exit and fill up quickly, without the pain of red lights, slow drivers and a full re-merge onto the highway amid hangry commuters. On another note, why can't this guy (see below video) ever pull up next to me? It's always the nose-picker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKlDBi0cyIA

Mostly clean but only staffed during part of the day. Many of their brochures are out of date,…read moresome years out of date. I do like getting free road maps, and for those of you younger than old-as-dirt, we used to use these paper maps to get from here to there. Kind of a primitive Google Maps only it worked better. Apparently the State of Wisconsin didn't print new maps for 2024 so I guess the old ones will have to do. This has become a place for homeless people to spend overnight, and I kind of like that they don't roust them in harsh weather but it does mean the place doesn't smell as clean at night. The vending machine coffee is actually better than the gas station and fast food coffee at this exit. Not saying it's good, but the area gas stations and fast food places don't believe in fresh coffee so this is as good as it gets in the afternoon or at night. If you're on a long car trip this is a pleasant area to take a brief walk to relieve lower back pain. There are recycling receptacles though lots of people just put trash into the plastic only and aluminum only bins.

There are some things you don't want to admit but I must say the vending machine coffee here is pretty good - this cute little rest area not only provides clean restrooms and great coffee there are also a few historic markers to read while stretching your legs - there wasn't a lot of traffic here, I don't know if that's normal or just the time of the day but it was quite with no lines...
