I’ve been camping on the Stanislaus National Forest on Hwy 108 since 1962. Once the boys were old enough we started taking them up camping & fishing.
On the way to camping we get off Hwy 205 after Tracy & take the Hwy 120 exit through Manteca, as soon as you get off of Hwy 99 you take the 1st Manteca/Hwy 120 exit, on your right is a Wendy’s Restaurant and a Union 76 gas station. We still stop there, even today as it’s our first bathroom break. The gas station has stucco stone on the building right up to the roof on the side by the bathrooms. It used to be natural color, now they painted it a puky brown color.
Whenever we stopped there the boys use to free climb the walls outside the bathroom, usually getting up pretty high, then jumping down, Correy, even at age 4 was climbing up over the 6 foot mark. It’s funny, as the boys got older they’d climb higher & faster then it kind of faded out as something to do there. We were always on our way to camping, fishing or the snow, so over time they were more anxious to get up camping or in the snow! I’m going up this weekend so I’ll stop & get a picture of the wall to post here.
Love you Correy!!
Dad
