  • I-80 Truckstop Review – Walcott Iowa

    I-80 Truckstop Review The I-80 Truckstophttps://iowa80truckstop.com/, I love this place.  I’ve been stopping by here for 30 years, at least.  Think of it as a “mall for truckers,” but us regular folks can go too.  There are shops, displays, a food court, and a 24-hour restaurant, which is where I hit.  They have three buffets […]
