Why are so many rest stops closed?
I'm heading west from NC on my way to Los Angeles along I-40. I've noticed that about 30% of the rest stops are closed. Why is that? Is it because of budget cuts, restoration, abuses by travelers? ...

One of the problems with "budget blaming" -- the states shut down because it costs $$$$$ to maintain and repair, so we'd wonder if the people in charge of rest stops continue employment? With nothing to supervise, they go to meetings and say, "Well, another year with no budget." End of meeting.
