Default Road pull offs

I was lying in bed this AM thinking and I remembered as a kid in NY dad used to drive in the hills with us a lot and there would be these pull off areas. He would take naps in the shade and we would play in the woods or the creek. With those older style pants ( before tighter jeans ) he had to drop some cash. They had a lot of these kinds of pull offs on the main routs before the interstate system in the 50s. Just a thought. PS we used to find a lot of change in the chairs and couch after dad took naps. I was a treasure hunter way back then!
