I-44 Rest Area in Joplin Mo

12comments

Lots of truckers, travellers, and locals, as this is just about the only real cruisy spot left here. Some people like to go into the woods and have their fun, but I've seen cops drive by with search lights looking for people with their mouths full!

Best time
I've seen people there as early as 3 pm, but after 9 pm is usually best.
Crowd
Young and old alike go.
Watch out

West bound is only for truckers now, but what about the East bound side where the welcome Center is at? I've stopped by there several times but saw nothing except some woman asking for handouts and claiming she lost her credit card and needs gas money. (she's ALWAYS there). Has anyone been there lately and had any success hooking up with anyone? There are two very nice mens rooms open 24/7. I've never seen anything go on though.
