About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Road Ranger with an unusual request. He needed to fill not just his truck but also his coffee thermos. The attendant looked puzzled but filled both the tank and the thermos without question. As the man drove off, a neighbor passing by noticed something odd—his truck was emptying its load right into a nearby field! Turns out, it was just road apples he’d been delivering all night.

2. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Road Ranger and noticed something odd—a persistent humming sound coming from inside the gas station's pumps. As he approached the pump, the humming grew louder—eerie yet hypnotic. The driver looked around nervously but saw only shadows in the night. Suddenly, a voice whispered, 'Fill ’er up!' Startled, the driver jumped back, realizing it was just an old gas can rattling in the wind. With a laugh, he said goodbye to the ghostly voice and drove off into the early morning.

3. At dusk, a little boy walked into Road Ranger, staring wide-eyed at the glowing neon sign above the pumps. His dog followed closely, sniffing curiously at the strange scent of gasoline mixed with something unfamiliar. The attendant smiled and asked what he needed. The boy pointed at the sign, saying earnestly, ‘I want to be just like you when I grow up!’ The old man chuckled, refueling his truck while the curious dog wagged its tail. As twilight deepened, the boy and his canine companion left, leaving behind only the gentle hum of the pumps and a faint whiff of gasoline in the air.

4. A neighborhood watchdog paused for a break at Road Ranger one afternoon, his eyes fixed on the road beyond the gas station. Just then, a delivery driver pulled up, yakking into his phone. Without even noticing our watchdog friend, he asked the attendant, ‘Hey, where’s the nearest bathroom?’ The dog glanced over and thought, ‘Hmm, maybe I should’ve stayed home for my break!’
