"I am a connoisseur of convenience stores," writes Brendan Leonard. On road trips, he always stops to check out the t-shirt rack, bumper stickers or display of trinkets unique to the area. And every stop is a chance to find the best, ever. But he hadn't quite found it. Until friends told him of a magical place huddled in the shadow of the Sierra. Instead of hot dogs endlessly spinning under heat lamps, steaks sizzled. People gathered and celebrated. Circus troops careened through the skies above. Indeed, this was a magical place, but could it exceed his checklist of expectations?

So Semi-Rad.com is rad, and I'm a big fan of the Diaries, and the Mobil is great (I prefer the hot springs though), but you're going to talk about the Trespassers playing a great show and not include any of their music? Seems like a logical connection to play that during the podcast. www.thetrespassers.com - They're an awesome local band from Yosemite check them out!

I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one obsessed with these roadside gems found in the good old USA! I have also biked across the country and Wall Drug was one of the highlights of my trip. I will definitely have to take a trip to the Mobil someday. Thanks for sharing.
