BETO Junction Travel Plaza is a truck stop located at the intersection of Interstate 35 (I-35) and U.S. Highway 75 (US 75) in Coffey County, Kansas, [1] 12 miles (19 km) north of the Wolf Creek Generating Station. [2] BETO refers to the four closest major cities: Burlington, Emporia, Topeka, and Ottawa. The truck stop was described on air by Paul Harvey as "right out in the middle of nothing". [3]
The truck stop and travel plaza is a popular stop for long-haul truck drivers and vacationers on road trips through the area. [1] In 1994, the truck stop was so popular it was included on the Kansas state map [4] after having been previously removed from the map in 1993. [1] In 1996, the restaurant, originally opened in 1976, was noted as the nation's best truck stop diner by The Guide to America’s Best Truck Stop Diners. [3] In the same guide that year, identical twin sister servers at the restaurant were voted as having the "most outrageous" personalities. [3]
