Driving up to Mendocino for a weekend and I'm always looking for the best places to stop for gas and snacks on Route 101. Always feel like I'm stuck at some random gas station off the highway when I'm trying to get to the coast. Anyone have any recommendations for the best spots to refuel and grab a bite?
