Deviated due to weather. They gave me a courtesy car for the night, they usually loan it for two hours, however, and they made an exception since it was an unplanned visit. It’s a very nice facility with very nice folks.
We passed through on a quick turn a little before closing on a Saturday evening. James was in the fuel truck as we taxied in. Quick, clean and hospitable, this will be one of my favorite fuel stops on future trips to the East coast.
