In front of the building are three gas pumps. Next to these pumps is a tall triangular sign which says "Conoco". Immediately below this sign is a small square sign which says "N-Tane" on it. a black car is parked in the small parking area to the right of the gas pumps. The road itself is a two-lane highway made of asphalt. To the right of the road is a small mobile-home trailer next to three signs. One of these signs is a caution sign reading "Winding Road. 45 MPH". The other two signs are shaped like arrows pointing towards the rest stop and say "telephone" and "groceries" respectively.On View
