One of the stranger travel experiences was going south on Interstate
through Mississippi. Regular green sign for "Rest Stop", pull off into
the parking lot. The usual paved parking lot and sidewalk, but no
buildings.....a well-worn path into the woods, with a few old mattresses
and a lot of litter in the woods; didn't rest there ) Local bordello
or "official" rest stop?

I've seen a couple of these on I-65 (maybe in TN, definitely in KY)
which were basically just places for the trucks to pull off when they
were up against their max work times. The only things there was the lot,
although most of the signs for the Rest Area say no facilities or
truckers only or some such verbiage.
