Sounds like America needs Tim Hortons!!! It's pretty cheap coffee compared to places like Starbucks and you can find locations litterally EVERYWHERE. It's the main coffee shop chain across the country here. 😀
Trans Canada Phil Tim Hortons is awesome! Wish we had those down here. The closest I’ve seen one was somewhere in New York. I heard something about them expanding more into the States but I get the feeling they’ll never be far from the Canadian border.
@@504RoadTrips Funny you should mention that. When I was in Scotland in 2018, I get into Glasgow and exited the main station downtown. And what's the first thing I see as soon as I stepped out onto the streets of Glasgow right at the corner of Argyle and Union Streets next to Central Station? Here's the pic I took: ibb.co/n3qDFdh. Apparently it had just opened a few months earlier and was the first one ever built in Scotland :-). Apparently there are a number of locations throughout the UK now.
Coffee is coffee. I don’t know how you can screw that up. I think maybe I somehow put milk in it instead of cream. That upsets my stomach. But I also think I got some kind of food there, and it wasn’t what I expected.
@@504RoadTrips May be personal taste or preference, but I can't handle their coffee or sandwiches. It just doesn't taste good, to me. Last sandwich i got there tasted like lake water!
Jimmy Bee I usually don’t eat gas station sandwiches. It was what I thought were those little taquitos that you see rolling along on the heated rollers. But it turned out to be bland, breaded chicken. Never a good idea.
It seems like every cup of coffee I got on that trip, and there had to be a dozen or more, through Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota and North Dakota...all cost about $3.50. Which is a ridiculous price to pay for coffee, IMO.
@@504RoadTrips Get one of those discount refill mugs. I got one for pilot. They call them Philmor mugs, at pilot. Haven't used it in ages, but I think it cut the price down considerably, and ever 5th cup was free. Check on that, in case I'm wrong...
@@504RoadTrips yeah that's a ridiculous price for a cup of coffee for sure theres a loves about 20 miles from here and I seen a new one going up over in St Louis yesterday
I540 mile markers actually start at zero at I40 and go to 14 at the Oklahoma line. It's weird, but the standard is usually numbers increase south to north and west to east. Also, the Workman's Travel center on the other side of the highway from the Love's is WAY better.
The mileage is correct, as the rule is that the mileage begins at the parent route. Any auxiliary interstate that extends south from an E-W parent is going to have the mile numering backwards. Just as I-540 is even numbered, but runs N-S, as is also typical with spurs. What is very unorthodox is that I-540 was originally signed East-West, but when it was extended north of I-40 to Mountainburg, they switched it to North-South. It's unclear now whether they had two separate I-540s, or if there was a concurrency with I-40, but the mile markers indicate that they must have originally numbered it from 0 at the Oklahoma State Line and then up as far as Bentonville as I-540, which resulted in the current mile markers seen along I-49.
In most cases you would be correct, but I540 is numbered backwards. In fact where you exited 540 into 71 is exit 12 and the Oklahoma line is at the 14.5 log mile. When they rehabbed 540 in 2014, they were going to change the exit numbers to match standard. However 549 was in the middle of construction. Side note, I was out around exit 13 getting some lumber out of the road.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful👏

Lord what is the speed limit there
70 on freeways.
70 mph
I generally avoid Love's. It's safe and clean, so it's a good place to get gas. But, I don't get coffee or food there.

@@504RoadTrips LOL! Not good!
Mountains get more mountainous
Loves coffee and tea are both terrible not to mention they have high prices lol

Jimmy Bee I have an insulated cup and most places give you a big discount if your bring your own. But I didn’t have it with me on this trip.

@@504RoadTrips Want anyone to ask Roadwaywiz a question?
Must be the last part of interstate 49
What’s in Arkansas I’m just wondering because Louisiana has lots of road’s
Walmart, mostly. A couple of big universities. Hot springs. Roads and mountains. Lots of nature.
@@504RoadTrips They don't call it the natural state for nothing. :=)
