Ever hear the phrase "everything is bigger in Texas"?
Well, we stumbled upon the biggest gas station (travel center) we have ever seen. Known as Buc-ee's, we first spotted a huge sign with a beaver on I-35 between San Antonio and Austin, in the town of New Braunfels, and being curious, exited the freeway to get a closer look.
They do not allow 18-wheelers, and there were no signs that said it was a gas station, nor any signs advertising prices. I saw at least 15 bays, each servicing 4 vehicles!! We paid $3.49 for diesel, by far the lowest we have seen on our trip so far.
Then I went into the "store" which sold everything from hunting gear, to clothing, shoes, jewelry, and souvenirs; and sporting a central island selling, what else, BBQ!!!! Crazy!
