Crazy busy, as I guess all the other travelers were thinking or needing the same thing. Easy in and out, even with so many people here. But unfortunately for me, the people who parked next to me were poor drivers... How hard is it to park in a parking space?!?! Well stocked with snacks and drinks. And they "get" you when you walk in, see my picture of the popcorn. I forced myself not to buy it, lol. Atmosphere - Decent size location. Again, easy in and out. Service - Good, mostly self service. Price - Expensive, but then that is the cost of convenience. Especially in the middle of nowhere. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1906 as Standard Oil Company (CA). Sorry, your history is confusing, too many mergers, parent companies, etc... 1876 - California Star Oil Works. 1879 - Pacific Coast Oil Co. 1885 - Iowa Standard. 1926 - Pacific Oil Company, Standard Oil Company of CA. 2001 - Chevron Texaco Corporation. 2005 - Chevron.

Vista: a ​view, ​especially a ​beautiful ​view from a high ​position…read more I have a soft spot for public access places like parks, beaches, and rest areas... 'Vista points like this one, the California Aqueduct, qualify as well. It's called Vista Point - California Aqueduct because it sits adjacent to the aqueduct. "You are here!" - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vista-point-california-aqueduct-newman?select=WhzgFy-UFMQjD3GQSa3-hw My thoughts on this are as follows: 1. Places like this are a privilege, NOT a right. 2. The state/government doesn't have to provide a roadside rest area, public park, beach, or a "place with a great view." (i.e. - Vista point) 3. I'm thankful and appreciative for these amenities. If you've ever played @ a city/state park, beach, used a public restroom, stopped @ a rest area to stretch your legs on a long @ss road trip, then you too have enjoyed the benefits of just what I'm talking about. The next time you come upon a vista point, you may want to take a moment and check it out... It'll only take a mere 15 - 30 minutes out of your very, long & exciting drive. Sometimes you just have to stop and enjoy the view... 'And if you time it just right, catch an awesome sunset. I've stopped at a few vista points on my many road trips to and from Southern California. I've been to this particular I-5 south, vista point three or four times. Think of a vista point as a barebones rest stop... 'With a view. There's no restrooms, no water, just a paved lot... 'And a view.

There was a big rig, plus a small RV, and a couple who like me simply stopped to catch the sun as it set and disappeared into the horizon. For me, it wasn't just "another road trip sunset." Metaphorically, it was much more... The sun was setting on a yet another chapter of this adventure we call life. (Hey, I'm no Walt Whitman but I try.) Make it Great! Laugh well, laugh often...

The shop is nicely stocked with snacks, cold drinks, hot popcorn, hot dogs rolling about on the heated trays, and a bunch more. There is an adjoining I HOP. Next to the IHOP is a Popeyes. There are some electric chargers near the Popeyes. Not sure which brand they were. The gas pricing has a ok. Comparable to the multitude of other stations along in that area. The women's restroom is not great though. Older worn toilets and fixtures. No toilet seat covers. The majority of the interior toilet bowl enamel was chipped and worn making it look unclean. I entered several stalls thinking the toilets weren't cleaned (remnants) until I realized the attendant just cleaned them. Besides a restroom refresh, the TA could stand to refresh the parking lot space paint lines in the front lot. The lines are worn out and many drivers are driving straight through all willy nilly while cars are trying to park in the spaces. A bit chaotic.
