shaman52 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 CHEYENNE – The rest area at the Summit on Interstate 80 is closed indefinitely because the caretaker abruptly quit. Without anyone to clean the restrooms or take out the garbage, the Wyoming Department of Transportation was forced to close the facility. Truck parking is still allowed at the rest area, however. The caretaker was an independent contractor with the state and is not a state employee. A WYDOT spokesman said the agency is trying to expedite the bidding process to secure a new caretaker. If the process is not expedited, the rest area could be closed until April.

gjhunter01 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 If the State would set up a FHU site at the rest area it could be a win/win for a volunteer position for some of us. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AprilWhine Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 It probably has an electrical connection, water is a given so if you have a macerator, there's your full hook ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 If this one is like it used to be, what they provide is a mobile home pad and connections. I think it also has some sort of stipend but they look for someone permanent, not just seasonal. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Family built the hip-roof house on the north side of I-80 across from the store at Buford. Been to the summit rest area many, many times. There is a regular full-size mobile home site on the premises. Every time I was there, it looked like the same mobile home was there. Don't know if the contractor owned it of the state. I would not want to weather a winter there in and RV. As you know, cold and wind, wind, wind. Many times over 100mph. That is accurate, over 100mph. The richest are not those who have the most, but those who need the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
