[Back in the day, what we call rest areas, were called roadside parks. They were named, used by cross country truckers and drivers to sleep, to eat and even cook. This one had 6 or 7 picnic tables, 3 brick bar-b-q pits, A Blue*Star Veterans Memorial marker, and the Crawford County Historical Marker. A one lane black top lane looped through the area.
Since this one was designated a historic place, MoDOT removed the markers, and put them 1,000 feet to the East on MO-H, removed the tables & Pits, and dug a trench through the lane so you can no longer enter.]
