Petro Truck Stop - San Antonio

Petro Truck Stop - San Antonio

I stopped here the other day for a short break when I was travelling this road. It is still one of the more old fashioned truck stops around although Petro style. I remember stopping here in my early days of over the road driving. It was a virtual trove of treasure for a new driver. I bought my first CB here, a Cobra 25, I think.  Times have changed, the old style truck stops are almost gone; but Petro still reminds me of the old days of living on the road.

In a JAM?

Seen off of 45 in North Houston.  You might be in a JAM if this truck didn't do his job:  delivering gasoline to your local stations where you can keep your car humming like the fine vehicle it is.

Mt Rushmore?

A trucker with a taste for Mt Rushmore trucking along a Texas highway recently.

Doc's Truck Stop in Gonzales, Texas

Trucks parked at Doc's in Gonzales

Doc's Truck Stop or maybe it is Circle G now, but it used to be Doc's for years is at the intersection of Highways 183 and 97 on the south side of Gonzales. They used to have a little truck stop restaurant there but since the building has been rebuilt, it has been replaced with a modern convenience store/truck stop and has a nice steak house attached to it. 

Trucking along in West Texas

Interstate 10 in West Texas

Yep, another post and photo about Interstate 10 in West Texas. This was mentioned in my previous post but I just had to slap up this photo as it is just another view of the views along 10 in Texas.

The cracks in my windshield (not to mention the bugs) are not enhancing the photo any. But I never promised excellence in photography. This blog is for using shots from my cell phone of views that I might see any day out there and you are seeing them just like I saw them.

West Auction Barn and Restaurant

The West Auction Barn off of exit 351 near West, Texas. The place has a lot of truck parking and a gravel lot. Over the years I have parked there many times and then eaten in the restaurant there. It has generally featured Chech style cooking and used to be a good 24 hour place where drivers could get a good meal anytime of the night. Now the parking is still there but the restaurant is closed at night and doesn't seem to be what it once was.
