BETO Junction Travel Plaza is atruck stop located at the intersection ofInterstate 35 (I-35) andU.S. Highway 75 (US 75) inCoffey County, Kansas,[1] 12 miles (19 km) north of theWolf Creek Generating Station.[2] BETO refers to the four closest major cities:Burlington,Emporia,Topeka, andOttawa. The truck stop was described on air byPaul 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 byThe 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]
