Great cell is only plus

Crashed here 1 night getting into town. Its right off the highway on a newly paved road so no issues. It a quater mile.from a cell tower so full 5g uw on verizon. But its just a little gravel pull off. Nothing special. No frills. There is a gravel hauling operation right on the othet side of the street and these trucks run all day so expect noise early and constant. If you park just right there is a good view of the mountains tho and plenty of grassy area for a little walk or to let dogs out and roam around.
