When Stopping for Gas is an Adventure
Early evening returning home after a large buffet dinner and my traditional $20 feeding into the slot machine, we stopped for "gas." Well we thought that was the reason to checkout the new Buc-ee's with no idea what we were actually getting ourselves in to.
After a few minutes of gathering all the eye-candy I could hold, I tracked down a manager and started asking questions much to his delight. Yes sir "we have 120 fueling stations with diesel at each one." And No Sir, "18 wheelers are not allowed on the premises, only cars and RVs." He went on to say this location in Alabama was the only Buc-ee's outside of Texas with more planned for construction in Florida.
Long story short, the food was wall to wall along with everything to drink you can think of or imagine. Nic-nacks to kill for stacked among the shirts, hats, sun glasses, camping supplies, BBQ grills, smokers and everything in between. Oh, and the jerky, beef, bison, and others in over two dozen different flavors. Enough already!
During future visits we quickly learned they have one of the best Brisket Sandwiches this side of San Marcos, Texas. We have been back several times since.
And that my Friends is Behind the Scenes of My First Visit to Buc-ee's.
