I grew up in this area in the 80's and 90's, and my Dad loved coming here for dinner and a slice of pie. Driving out to Iowa 80 was so much of my Dad's persona, that after he passed, and we decided to memorialize a park bench in his honor, we included the quote you see at the 1:25 mark on his plaque: "Smile, the open road is just ahead." Miss you, Dad.
Its been over 20 years since I was there at the I80 truckstop. I wasn't really paying much attention to anything but getting something to eat and fuel up. Now with you there I can revisit. You are so sweet❤ and enjoy your videos.
Great video Christine. You and Chase can be truck driving you tubers. The best of both worlds. Stay safe. I was thinking you could even place a ring camera in your car and you could actually see what Chase is doing. They have some that are USB charged. Just a thought.
I am a new subscriber. Just wanted you to know that you are a great person to watch on TH-cam. like others have said, feel like I am along for the ride and your upbeat attitude is just a joy to watch!
Id be interested to see what gear you're using to shoot videos and what you use to edit. I like your editing style, everything just seems so well put together, such quality :)
Love the Iowa 80 Truck Stop. I car camped there for 3 days in 2021 with my pupper Whitley. It’s has everything. We visited the Hoover Presidential library and museum. Very informative and beautiful park on site too. We enjoyed a morning walk and had our lunch on the picnic tables.
I have never been there but it looks like a ton-o-fun. Christine, you look so happy do this and I admire the freedom that you and Mr Chase have. You guys go to some of the coolest places that most folks would never think of and it is very entertaining. Keep up the great work and stay strong in your journey :).... Mike
I went to University of Iowa and when I would drive out this was my bathroom/lunch pit stop. There aren't any bathroom options around and I was behind a van with a group of 12 year boys from a soccer team. We both get off at this truck stop and went to McDonald's. It was very funny. The coaches were really embarressed, lol. I don't know if you'll go by but Iowa City is a great little city if you get the chance to stop!
I love your videos! You have a great attitude & personality. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. Our oldest dog is 18 years old and is dead & blind. Her ambition in life is to eat! Take care and love you!❤️
Can’t believe your out at that truck stop. Back when I drove entertainers around in those fancy busses I stopped there a lot. Huge isn’t it? You be safe wherever your headed.
Love seeing this place! I've only been there once as I've only driven by once. May 1990, while moving from California to Massachusetts. When you see it, you MUST stop! It's so cool!
Christine your so down to earth such a cool person God bless you. I'm working on a travel trailer to do the same thing. If your ever in nashville hit me up.
I’m always glad to see you’ve posted another video. It was a good one. You’re a great spokesperson for the waggle pet monitor! That is a very useful and needed product. ❤
I appreciate that you travel with your pup. I travel with my two medium/large dogs and it’s both a challenge and the best thing ever. I wanted to be part of the dog rescue community, but I also wanted to travel. It definitely requires lots of creative solutions, but it is totally worth it. It’s helpful seeing other people like you also making it work! Thanks for your fun videos.
Well, add another spot to the Christine adventure bucket list. Looks like such a cool spot. Hello Chase, hello Christine! Looking forward to the next adventure ☺
I accidentally tripped upon this truck stop about 4 years ago. There was a restaurant across the street advertising Mom's Home Cooked Food that was shut down, but I needed gas. I filled up my van and went inside and spent the rest of the day excitedly exploring this incredible world wonder!!! Everything imaginable can be found here, including a dentist or chiropractor. I'm not overly enthused about buffets, but this one was different, everything was fresh and clean. Everything in this truck stop was spotless, including the bathroom. This truck stop would be the perfect man cave!!! It takes a lot to impress me and I was truly impressed!! I was traveling alone so I had the opportunity to look this place over closely. I haven't been back to Iowa since but next time I'm traveling over 80 I'll definitely be stopping!!!
Awesome you were just 60 miles south of me been there many times since I've been a Trucker for 37 years theres another place like this one in Joplin ,mo but not as big cool to see the expanded it a bit more since I've been there.
I enjoyed stopping there in early June on my way back to Virginia from Calgary. I didnt get to experience everything, but it was amazing! I'll definitely stop again and spend more time. Great video!
Hello 👋, ive seen a plethora of van & SUV lifestyles but yours stands out and I really enjoyed your presentation of the largest truck stop. Look forward to viewing more of you.
Hi I’m new to channel! I loved this tour and chase! I traveled for a year with my x bf who was a truck driver but never saw this spot wish I had🤪 Thank you for the fun and interesting content looking forward to more❣️🤗
You should stream on tik tok cooking and just going through out your day.A lot of be are doing dumb stuff on tik tok but I fallow and enjoy the travelers and hikers on there.
Very good video. I had already seen e truck stop in several videos of truckers. But it's well done, we see a lot of things and restaurants. Chase's wash was, not bad too. Thank you
If you're still there, you should go to Hurts Donuts in Davenport. We stopped there in the way to CO and they have the best donuts!! Also... Definitely get a coffee at Caribou at the I-80 truck stop. We haven't been to the truck museum yet. Maybe someday. Lol.
I love your videos. This one was truly amazing. You are cute as a button. I have been to truck stops but nothing like this. A disneyland of a truck stop
Awww...bless his heart...he is soooo adorable! I know I've commented and said it before but I would just love to hug your doggie! He's just so cute and sweet!
I love your videos and your personality; you're so light-hearted and fun. The highlight is Chase as well. I can't get enough of him!! He is so so dang adorable. Thank you for continuing to have us on your journey. I may just go back and just binge your channel again cause they are so fun to watch! 🙂
Thanks for another excellent video. I will be leaving Pittsburgh mid September heading slowly to Disneyland. The I 80 truck stop will definitely be one of my stops. Since I travel with my English Bulldog I will be getting a Waggle.
Thank you for this video. I have been thinking about a short get away to northern Iowa, once the weather cools down and this truck stop has been on my radar for a while. I subscribed to your channel because I love your energy and upbeat content. Chase has to be living the best doggie retirement, new smells all the time and his human companion is with him most of the time. Thank you for using your time and talents to make a go at bringing your adventures to people that can't get away as much as we would like, because of responsibilities. Well back to work with preparations for laying laminate floors in my last space of the ground floor of my home. Doing the work myself has been strangely satisfying... Thank you.
You might be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Not just your looks but your personality. Trucking sucks, stick with Utube. This driver loves watching your adventures!
I was watching the movie LOST HORIZON the other day and thinking about your youthful appearance. Are you sure you have not visited shangri-la in your travels??

Aw!! ❤️
Sweet❤!
That's awesome! ❤
I love this story. Thank you for sharing 💫
Since Chase is blind you need to be licensed as a service human. Then he can go in anywhere.
😂 that's funny good 👍 one 😅
That is a great idea! 😆
Loving the truck display
That place is legit! TY for sharing. 💫
Thanks Christine can't wait for the next video
To be honest, the shower facility looked far better than I thought it would.
Love you and Chase. Stay safe and be blessed 🙌 Happy travels 🙏 😊....

Welcome!!
Id be interested to see what gear you're using to shoot videos and what you use to edit. I like your editing style, everything just seems so well put together, such quality :)
I mostly use my iPhone for filming and iMovie for editing. I'm experimenting with some other things though :)
What a memory you brought me Christine, I did trucking for 5 years back in the day, and that truck stop was one of my favorites . Thanks for sharing
Dreams really do came true…pulled into Iowa 80 today (9/22/23). I will begin to really explore it in the morning. i just locked up the rig.
Your videos are inspiring, I watch them while eating my dinner relaxing after work, keep on ❤❤❤❤wish you all the happiness in the world

Enjoyed watching
I will have to stop there
FYI Truckers are well paid and some of the kindest people we have met in our travels. You could make a lot of money seriously
I went to University of Iowa and when I would drive out this was my bathroom/lunch pit stop.

Same! Brought back such great memories ❤
I love your videos! You have a great attitude & personality. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. Our oldest dog is 18 years old and is dead & blind. Her ambition in life is to eat! Take care and love you!❤️
Can’t believe your out at that truck stop. Back when I drove entertainers around in those fancy busses I stopped there a lot. Huge isn’t it? You be safe wherever your headed.
Wow 😮😊😊😊😊
Pretty awesome place to check out, truckers keep the world moving, what a great episode!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love seeing this place! I've only been there once as I've only driven by once. May 1990, while moving from California to Massachusetts. When you see it, you MUST stop! It's so cool!
Who knew a truck stop could be so cool. Chase seemed very "chill" during his bath. Of course didn't see it all 😅 🐕love
I’m heading up in that area next week will be going to sd nd wy mt co and Waterton Canada. It be cool if we see each other on the road! ~ Elaine
It is a large and in charge!
Christine your so down to earth such a cool person God bless you. I'm working on a travel trailer to do the same thing. If your ever in nashville hit me up.
You find the coolest places Christine!! 😀 How do you find them?! 😀
I've kept a long list of all the cool places I've seen! I like to research new fun places too 🤓
I think you and Mr Chase would make a good truck driving team.
I’d like to see that truck stop but none of my many van travels has taken me there yet.
Your dog is nice =)
Thank you Christine. Very wholesome and entertaining!
Dog bath facilities are cool! So needed.
They have them also in Tractor Supply Whatehouse as well my friend.
Good to see there is a dog monitoring device for Chase. Roll on and enjoy the adventure! 😎
I’m always glad to see you’ve posted another video. It was a good one. You’re a great spokesperson for the waggle pet monitor! That is a very useful and needed product. ❤
I have been here at it is fun!
Would someone please explain why I like Christine's videos so much?
I appreciate that you travel with your pup. I travel with my two medium/large dogs and it’s both a challenge and the best thing ever. I wanted to be part of the dog rescue community, but I also wanted to travel. It definitely requires lots of creative solutions, but it is totally worth it. It’s helpful seeing other people like you also making it work! Thanks for your fun videos.
Thanks for taking us along! Neat place to visit but a little far from Florida! The best we can do is Buc-ee's ;)
Well, add another spot to the Christine adventure bucket list. Looks like such a cool spot. Hello Chase, hello Christine! Looking forward to the next adventure ☺
Another great and fun video. Chase has a great and caring mommy :) The candle pie by the pie.. way too funny. Love those glasses! 👍
I so appreciate you travel with your blind doggo, kudos to you as you look after Chase so very well
I wish to visit there one day looks great..thanks for sharing 😊

Looked awesome..Better version of Buckeys ... the shower unlimited time sold me on that Truck stop. Nice
I’m a new follower of your channel. Love your videos.

Great video!
Hello 👋, ive seen a plethora of van & SUV lifestyles but yours stands out and I really enjoyed your presentation of the largest truck stop. Look forward to viewing more of you.
I had been there a couple of times back when I was working in Iowa City, circa 2007-2009. The place looks completely different now!
I knew a meachum growing up. Ok n Minnesota. He was a ginger. Kinda mad a lot. 5th grade.
Hi I’m new to channel! I loved this tour and chase! I traveled for a year with my x bf who was a truck driver but never saw this spot wish I had🤪 Thank you for the fun and interesting content looking forward to more❣️🤗
Great videos. Watching them and wondering if you have someone taking the videos?
You should stream on tik tok cooking and just going through out your day.A lot of be are doing dumb stuff on tik tok but I fallow and enjoy the travelers and hikers on there.
Definitely one of my favorite videos you’ve made,Best Iowa 80 video on TH-cam.
Im from iowa & love that truck stop, driving a truck is the way to go! I loved every minute of it!
Very good video. I had already seen e truck stop in several videos of truckers. But it's well done, we see a lot of things and restaurants. Chase's wash was, not bad too. Thank you
Your videos bring out your personality. Keep up the videos
I'm a sucker for a good buffet lol
If you're still there, you should go to Hurts Donuts in Davenport. We stopped there in the way to CO and they have the best donuts!! Also... Definitely get a coffee at Caribou at the I-80 truck stop. We haven't been to the truck museum yet. Maybe someday. Lol.
Wow that is amazing. Nothing like that here in Australia!
So good to see you both doing great.
I've spent many days at truck stop, when I drove a truck
Nice truck stop😊😊😊😊

I had no idea this place existed. Thank you!
Love your channel and how you take care of Chase.
How is it that more youtuber make a stop at Iowa 80?
I love your videos. This one was truly amazing. You are cute as a button. I have been to truck stops but nothing like this. A disneyland of a truck stop
Right!?! 😃Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
I've been there several times in a semi truck & i always enjoyed stopping there.
Very neat place.
I agree!
Safe travels pretty lady!❤ You got heart.
Very interesting! That place is ginormous!! Great video!!

Your videos are so heartwarming and refreshing!!
You might be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Not just your looks but your personality. Trucking sucks, stick with Utube. This driver loves watching your adventures!
I was watching the movie LOST HORIZON the other day and thinking about your youthful appearance. Are you sure you have not visited shangri-la in your travels??
