Rest Areas Safe?
How safe are restareas to stop in at night and get a few hours sleep?

20 years ago yes.
Certainly not anymore. I full time and rest stops across the country are closing at alarming rates. They are so crime riddled with druggies and sickos that the state department doesn't have the funds to keep them patrolled 24 7's with police anymore to keep them safe for the public. That's why if you do find them open they will not let anyone stay over night. I found it very sad. Makes it more challenging traveling long distance in an RV down the interstates. Just but yet another case of the bad ruining it for the good. :(
