Today there were 29 spaces available, there are sensors embedded in the asphalt at each truck parking space that constantly updates this information so it's always been accurate and dependable. I did a short walk around the RV checking the tires, the tow-bar for the toad and other critical things before getting back on the road, I also took the short walk to the facilities to stretch my legs and found this rest area in tip top shape and saw several members of the staff working to keep it that way. This is definitely a rest area I'll return too in the future, it's all good here...

"Osceola" National Forest is a beautiful National Forest located in northeast Florida. The smallest…read moreof the National Forests, it is most famous for its hauntingly beautiful trees, it carries the weight of history hidden in its dense stands of longleaf pines and storied past. Approximately 200,000 acres of pine flatwoods and cypress-hardwood swamps beaming with tons of wildlife. Named after the Infamous Seminole warrior "Osceola" who was a American Indian leader during the second Seminole war, which began in 1835 when the US Zionist government forced the Seminole tribe off of their traditional God given lands in Florida for expanding white exploitation and settlement, forcing them to migrate into the Indian territories west of the Mississippi river. There were 3 horrific Seminole "wars" before the Civil war. Long story short, Under General Andrew Jackson, the US Military invaded the area here, burning to the ground the Indian villages and towns and at the same time, seized Spanish-held Pensacola. As a result, Spain was induced to cede its Florida territory under the terms of the Transcontinental treaty in 1819. Hence the City of 5 flags, as Pensacola was occupied by Spain, America, France, Britain & the Confederacy. The Indians fought hard thou using "Guerrilla war tactics" & withdrew into the Everglades. In October of 1837 "Osceola" went to St. Augustine with several Chiefs under a flag of truce to attend a parley with General T.S. Jesup. And as in typical fashion of our corrupt US Zionist Government, "Osceola" and the Chiefs, yep, all the bad Indians, were seized and imprisoned. "Osceola" was then taken to Ft. Moultrie at Charleston, South Carolina, where he later died. "Osceola" National Forest is not just a pretty park the US Zionist Government gave us for our amusement. It was the home of the Seminole. "Osceola" died trying to protect this beautiful forest he called home. Naming this Forest "Osceola" National Forest in his honor is just a ribbon of Victory for US Government theft. Bucket list worthy. Highest recommendations.

The breakfast had some good choices and the food was good, need to send the bagel thru 2x for toasting but that wasn't a problem. All the staff we spoke with were friendly and professional. We will stay again.

(Kidding! Please don't actually do that.) I pulled off for a quick break and was pleasantly surprised by how clean and modern everything looked. The bathrooms were tidy, the snack selection was solid, and grabbing that Monster was almost too easy. The fact that the vending machines are run by someone who's blind really stood out to me. It's not something you see every day, and it honestly put a smile on my face to see them running such a smooth operation. In the grand scheme of things, it's still a rest area, not a five-star resort. But it offered exactly what I needed at that moment--clean facilities, a decent energy boost, and a sense that someone actually cared about keeping the place welcoming. If you're rolling along I-10 and need to stop, this one's definitely worth a few minutes of your time.

On I-10, west of I-75 by a bit, this was a great stop. They do have a sign that indicates "three hour parking" so you can't overnight here. There is the "picnic area loop" around the back where you can find a nice shady spot for a nap and be away from the traffic noises. Plenty of space! The restrooms are clean and there is an attendant here so I was not at all concerned about security. Just remember to slow down as you're entering the parking area.

My experience at the Blanche? Beautifully strange…read more I'll explain. First off the hotel is as beautiful as advertised. From the lobby to the grand staircases, the artwork to the perfectly polished wood. It's all gorgeous. The rooms are also very nice too. Historic yet well maintained. The bedding and decor is spectacular, and even though the rooms are east-facing there are blackout blinds to keep that unforgiving morning sun at bay. Now, why the strange part? Because for the two days I was there, I saw ZERO humans in the entire hotel. For starters, everything is automated. My reservation was done online. I got texted an entry code to the property and to my room. And checkout was all via door code and online too. Never in the entire experience from booking to stay, did I speak to or see another human. And for a hotel experience, that's just weird. So, The Blanche. Definitely better than staying at a chain hotel. Great value. Stunning beauty. Eery silence. Finally, let me add this. There are several one star reviews of this place talking about a bar, roaches and no parking - I can say with confidence those reviews are not accurate whatsoever. This place is clean, quiet and very easy to park at, in fact I parked about 10 feet from the front door for free.
