Re: [RC] truck stops vs rest stops - heidiSorry but have to NOT agree that a truck stop is safer. HOWEVER, one must realize that anyplace but home sweet home is going to be more dangerous to a horse. Remember, MaryAnn, that the point under discussion was where a single woman should sleep, not what was safe for unloading horses. I agree that a busy truck stop is NOT the safest place to unload the horses! When I sleep at truck stops, the horses stay IN the trailer with hay nets and water buckets. Since they are not in compartments, they have nearly the freedom of a stalled horse, and they rest quite well when the trailer is not moving. For the safety of a sleeping human, however, I still believe that one is safer in an area that has quite a bit of traffic. Some rest areas also have wall-to-wall truckers, but at remote ones, one is more easily prey to real weirdos. There IS safety in numbers.
