Little America, I-80, Little America, WY 82929

The greatest place on Earth, or in America, or maybe I was really tired at this point in the drive.  We were driving to SLC from Cody, WY and along I-80 we kept seeing these signs for Little America.  The big draw was the really cheap cones for the family traveler and everything you could possibly want for the truck driver.  We pulled off to get out of the road construction and because the signs really made it seem like Little America was a magical place.

The “town” Little America seems to consist of a hotel, a gas station, and fuel center with a repair shop.  It was clearly built with a comprehension idea in mind.  If you are in a car you go left.  If you are in a truck you go right.

We went inside to eat at the restaurant/convenience store.  They have burgers and fries and corn dogs and of course cones.  They cook the burgers all of the way through.  I didn’t think the food was the best, but it was okay.  I heard the corn dog was good.  Everyone who stopped in to get a cone looked overjoyed.

The rest of the convenience store is amazing.  There are souvenirs like shirts and hats.  There are things like pickled quail eggs.  It really did seem like a magical place.

The bathrooms where incredible.  I literally almost walked back out to make sure I was still in a convenience store.  You walk in and there is an upscale sitting area where you can wait for whoever else went in with you.  Each stall is its own little room.  Everything about it was really nice.

There are hotels that you can stay in at Little America.  You get a discount if you eat at the convenience store and get a room.  It is really a travel paradise, not a destination, but a great place to stay or stop along the way.

The entire design was beautiful.
