Wireless Rest Areas

Driving cross-country, I found highway rest areas in Louisiana and Texas with free wifi, clearly signposted. Worth a search before your next road trip.

During this last week I’ve been in the process of relocating back to the south west area of the United States. During the drive back to the south west area I noticed something I’ve never seen before. Wireless Internet at Rest Areas!!!

Apparently this has been up and running for some time now but I was unaware of it. I noticed it at first in Louisiana. While in Texas I really began to notice how it was advertised on the Rest Area Signs. A nice little Wireless symbol was present on the signs.

So, if you’re in dire need of a wireless connection, be sure to Google for wireless rest areas in the state you’re traveling in. I’ve looked around and noticed tons of states have this set up already. I’d post links to all of them, but I dont have time to post 50 links right now. 🙂 Enjoy!
