Keep up the reports. Love reading them!
Church: Sometimes I get picked up, sometimes I park truck in lot if it is large enough and sometimes street parking is allowed. And the parking lot is not always filled, sometimes there are just a few cars.

Fuel prices: I have a general idea what areas have lower or higher prices and TRY to use the lowest available. Flying J truckstops generally have an Internet booth and though there is charge to generally surf the web the Flying J website (including diesel prices) can be accessed for free.
