Rest Areas in WA

[+nelson crew]

I'm going to be traveling on the cheap next week, sleeping in the back of my truck in rest areas. To make sure I knew where to find one when I got tired, I grabbed the data from the WSDOT site so I could dump it all in the Nuvi.

 

Since the work is done, I thought I'd share in case someone else could make use of it.

There's also links to the same data in .xls, .gdb and .gpx formats.

 

Hope someone finds it useful.

There is also a site with rest area POIs all formatted and ready to load in your Garmin.

Have fun. I spent 2 1/2 weeks doing that all over this state.

I slept in my truck at rest areas and old logging roads and traveled real cheap and had a blast doing it.
