Two-Lane Tidbit: State Line Truck Stop and Cafe, Pine Bluffs, WY
June 28, 2022
The former State Line Truck Stop and Cafe sits along the Lincoln Highway straddling the Nebraska-Wyoming border just outside the town of Pine Bluffs, WY. Closed and abandoned since the early 1990s, this one has been on our bucket list for quite some time. It was one of the most prominent stations along the 1913 Lincoln Highway route and we were pleased to discover that the state line markings are still visible on the building and some of the once copious number of gas pumps still in place.
Grew up at that truckstop with my dad ( Eldon Rhodes) before he sold it in the seventies. Vistedthe site on Saturday brought back a lot of mrmories.
My dad Smitty (Paul Smith) bought it in the 70’s from your dad and I now own the property.
