Although there are still finishing touches being added, the new Seven Feathers Truck and Travel Center is open on Interstate 5 near Canyonville, Ore.

According to The Oregonian, the six-acre truckstop is owned and operated by the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians, which also runs the Seven Feathers casino on the other side of the interstate.
The new travel center is in the former location of a Fat Harvey's restaurant and a mini-mart and gas station that had served truckers for decades. The location now features four diesel fuel islands, a restaurant, video arcade, convenience store, deli and assorted trucker services. It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The newspaper calls the new travel center "state of the art" and "trucker chic." A mosaic of the tribe's seal, featuring and eagle grasping a salmon in its talons, greets customers at the door. The interior is decorated in muted shades of olive green, sandy brown and dove gray. The pie and coffee bar is a gleaming slab of black granite.
Trucker amenities include a laundry room, 11 shower stalls, a trucker lounge and phone room, a deli and ice cream bar (featuring the tribe's signature huckleberry ice cream). Sixty-foot-wide easements provide easy access to 100 hard-surface parking spaces and 20 gravel ones. Security personnel are on duty from 4 p.m. to 8 a.m.
