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.

St. Anne's Church

St. Anne's Church is on 111 near Petersville. It is a beautiful older building that has been restored again recently. I think they have services there about once a month. The cemetery there is an active one and is frequently used.

New Walgreens in Corpus Christi

24 hour Walgreens

This might not be in keeping with what I have been posting previously but it it something I did see 'Along a Texas Road'.   A new Walgreens store under construction on Staples. It also caught my attention because I will deliver to it when it opens.

Early morning in Refugio

Early morning at Refugio

Interesting cloud pattern mingled with early morning light over the taco place in Refugio.

Sunrise Over Ingleside

Coming from Refugio this morning I saw the effects of the morning sunrise over the area across the bay that used to be Naval Station Ingleside.

Point Comfort Texas

Here along the central Texas coast are a number of refineries and other large businesses.  I am passing by one of them near Point Comfort. The flame caught my attention as it is bigger than it normally is.  Places like this provide work for many people here in the Texas Crossroads area.

Bastrop Fires - 3 Years Later

Shot these photos along 21 just a few miles outside Bastrop.  Still very obvious the damage from the fire three years ago.  Seems to me they cleaned up more along 71 but here along 21 there is still a lot of damage visible.
