World's Largest Truckstop (Iowa 80) Walcott, Iowa in 4K
I take you along to the World's Largest Truckstop. This video spans over several visits to Iowa 80 over the years not knowing that I would turn it into a video.

Thank-you for all your comments and viewing the video. I have other videos on my YouTube page.
