bigdavediode: I was actually planning to archive this cache within the next few days, but the reviewer note has prompted me to go ahead and do it today.
The former rest stop is clearly not going to be a rest stop anymore, at least for a long time. All former rest-stop stuff is gone, the phones have been removed, the pavement is gone, the dirt surface is bumpy and rough and now covered with grass and weeds. I guess they mean to remove it.
So, thanks for playing. -Dave
