    Hey man I use Anytime Fitness, not only more locations than planet.. but your own personal bathroom just like those. I pay $35 a month but it’s totally worth it on the road. I think there’s 5k+ locations worldwide and you get access to any of them 24/7. They’re in small little towns along the road and also every major city, can’t be a better Vanlife gym imo. Thanks for video, I’ve also passed that sign a lot and never went down. Cheers

    The sunglasses are still available I found. And lil fact, Mr. Love who founded Loves passes away within the past month. And I am a trucker, local now but had been OTR at one point. But the showers in truck stops are usually deemed "hospital clean" since they wipe and sanitize them after each use with fresh towels. The best for our drivers moving America.

    So ttypical there are so many places such as that within the state. Some even had hotels that the water ran through and all the professed healing process. Look at the palm trees you can imagine there may have been lovely staying places. The salt water is like an exfoliant also so it makes sense that when a person gets out of it their body is smooth and the dead layer of skin has been removed. Interesting if you go on a search for other places like this. Oh, yes cool shades. I need to look them up. Your Maryland neighbor.

    I’ve lived in California my whole life and am currently residing in Santa Cruz, California where I went to school. Originally from Riverside I’ve made the drive up and down multiple times and completely agree that Loves is the best! Also I’ve done the drive to Vegas multiple times as a kid and now and I would recommend stopping at the BARSTOW DEL TACO. They basically do everything Barstow style and they are basically double meat for free. Only del taco to do that.
