I save my Speedy Rewards points all year and get a $75 or $100 gift card for my trip west each fall. I buy a couple emergency Red Bull’s and the rest I spend on light filling snacks like corn nuts, salami, crackers, & jerky to try and keep me on the road as long as possible between stops.

Those wide-mouthed 1-liter Mountain Dew bottles used to be a part of that list; very handy for full bladders. Sadly they don’t make em anymore.

Sometimes do a sit down dinner and then my choice is Bob Evans or Cracker Barrel.
