Nothing like chocolate to keep the energy up.

There is a sign on highway 14 on the Washington side of the Columbia river as you head west toward Portland, Oregon that says“No Gas For Next 86 Miles” so you’d better be sure you’ve got enough in your tank to get you there. Just passing it along.

And the comics sign?

A bunch of Chocolholics looking to get off the wagon!

Some addictions are better than others.

The chocolate won’t last eighty-two miles.

Bleeb does get around, doesn’t he?

OH BOY! Um….chocolate?!?!Even Bleeb looks bewildered!

Driving late one night, and focused as we were in unfamiliar territory, I asked my friend “What did that sign say?”, to which he replied " Don’t know, wasn’t listening."

Kansas I70 Exit 222 for the Russell Stover Candy Factory Outlet.

Maybe their just happy that they found the last “Stucky’s”.

Hello West Coast, Happy Monday! Back in the day did ya ever but candy from a vending machine at a gas station that was so old the chocolate had turned white?

The last anything of anything is always exciting to me for some reason. Though, these days, I seem to be looking more closely at the distance between rest areas. Sad, that.

Depending on the part of the country, that should read “Taffy” instead of chocolate

The fine print: *at exorbitant prices

It looks like they can Kiss any potential diets goobye.
