No Rest for the Weary As Rest Stops Close

That old adage "No rest for the weary" could have been coined with Mark and Barbara Van Art in mind.

Driving from their home in Glendora, N.J., to North Carolina, the Van Arts wanted to stop at a rest area on Interstate 85 in Virginia, but it was closed because of state budget cuts.

It was back to the highway in search of a rest area.
