 Welcome
to RV-ing America’s Historic Highways. Join me and my canine
companion Timmy as we explore our fabulous country in our RV.
Inspired by Steinbeck and Kuralt among others, this series will
be part history, part adventure, a little nostalgia and hopefully,
all fun.

Bring On the Highway Hostesses
It was the 1930s and American motorists were fed up with filthy gas station restrooms. Many if not most were suitable for only the most germ-defying motorist -- no place to "rest," for sure, especially for the dainty ladies. It was a filthy never-never land of bacteria and brake fluid, a home for the motoring brave, but mostly the desperate. What to do? Bring on the Highway Hostesses!
