Ahhhhh. Yeah. You know that feeling of a wonderful shower after a miserable day? I will never again take that feeling for granted. For a clean freak like me, having to wait a day or two or three between showers can be absolutely horrible. That is what we have to deal with out here during this trucking adventure. I know that it is not like trekking through the Amazon for adventure but wow, am I very grateful for the big plastic container I carry full of towels and wash rags to take a bath in while going down the road. It is during these days that a trucker just can't wait for that moment when the fuel is bought and that free shower and towels are handed to you. That is...until you see the showers. Ooooh gross. With shower shoes in hand and the fear at every turn in the shower that something on the wall or floor is going to crawl right on to the body a person can sometimes feel dirtier coming out than they did going in. My husband say's it is hilarious to watch me wash and re-wash until I nearly take my skin off. For a germaphobic like me, and also a fairly vain person when it comes to looks, that shower can sometimes be horrific challenge.
In the past, I mentioned a truck stop called Sapp Brother's in Wyoming that literally made you feel as if you were in a luxury hotel. Well, let the South introduce you to NEWBORN TRUCK STOP in Tallapoosa, Ga. right off of I-20 at exit 5. Cleanest showers in the South. Georgia rarely disappoints and Newborn Tuck Stop keeps up with that reputation. As you walk in the doors you are greeted by these wonderful ladies. Blue Eyes and Misbehaven. With beautiful smiles and a guarantee that you will enjoy your stay there, no trucker could ever feel any closer to the good folks they have waiting for them at home than they will here, and trust me, finding a place to make you feel at home is hard out here. So many places just don't take the time to act like they care. These girls are like a great big hug and the showers, let me tell you, normally I can't even touch the walls in a shower at a truck stop without crying that I am going to die from some skin eating disease but at Newborns, I believe it may have been cleaner than the one I have at home. The white walled showers and water pressure that can ease any stress away makes a person feel clean already and then there is the ability to dry off without getting so sweaty that you need another shower before you are done. The rooms stay cool and the steam disappears No frizz in this hair. Oh yeah.
Thank you Newborns for your hospitality, great folks, clean showers and for helping my husband and I change the reputation for truckers everywhere by helping us be pretty people and good-looking truckers. And to all the truckers out there, help us change the look and reputation of truckers everywhere by taking a shower, losing some weight(for those that need to), get in shape and stop in at NEWBORNS for a moment to relax and feel like someone cares about you.
