Don't trust those interstate gas, restaurant and lodgings signs

Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

Those signs for restaurants, lodging and gas that you see on our interstate exits are very useful. They eliminate garish billboards while giving you quick information.

So, for the best travel experience, don't depend on these signs. Instead, check your travel apps, like Trip Advisor and Google maps, to find the best restaurants and lodgings.

It would be nice to learn about the places the locals appreciate and so few tourists really get to see.
