Recently stopped at the new rest stop in Van Horn, and man, it is nice. Someone there told me it cost 1.5 million per side of the highway. Was super clean, well landscaped, free distance binoculars (but it was night and I couldn't see anything), had an indoor A/C area with some maps, displays, and stuff. Hopefully people don't do what they always do and start breaking and defacing things.
I feel like over the last 30ish years Texas has really improved on its rest areas. About 30 years I remember my dad taking me to go hunting a bit West of San Antonio, near Kerrville. We stopped at rest area somewhere, and it was not only gross, but it was the first time I saw bathroom stalls where you could see and talk to the the person next to you as you went.
Y'all notice that too? Just an improvement in rest areas. Probably helps Texas tourism I'd imagine.
