The Bogard Rest Area is about 28 miles west of Susanville on highway 44. It looks like it was refurbished recently.

We had originally planned to stay here overnight, but arrived much too early. Aside from the cloudburst over Hat Creek Campground, we’d been staying behind the rain, but here it caught up with us. We stuck up the antenna and stayed a while.
The rest stop had an odd, slightly agorophobic feel to it. A huge broad parking lot was used by both trucks and cars. (Normally there are nominally separate spaces for each.) You were essentially just stuck in the middle of a big lot and had to be careful about crossing to the buildings.
There was a permanent hopscotch grid on the sidewalk! I never saw anything like that at a rest area before.
The buildings were covered up, too. Gee, I wonder why. ;)
Bogard was nice, clean and modern. I get the impression it was refurbished in the not too distant past.

*grin* At least they got it done before the big financial crunch. Who knows how long it would have been otherwise?

I can tell you that I’ve been going to that rest area on an off for 35 years when traveling to Reno and Las Vegas from Seattle and from what I learned from Caltrans is that they refurbish that rest area just three or four years ago!
