Interstate rest area stops

I volunteered to work the free coffee kiosk at a rest stop on Interstate 5 in Washington state. There is a whole community of people that live in their cars and spend every night in the rest stops. They are known by the authorities and by each other. I believe the law is six hours per stay. If chased out, they move to the rest stop on the other side of the freeway. Usually, they are left alone.

My rig doesn't have bed access with the slides in, so I generally tear off a couple hours in the truck seat and move on. I actually really like truck stop naps. I find the background noise soothing. I watch the hustle and bustle of everyone and relax knowing I'm not pressed for time.
