Hello Friends!
Can you believe it is September already? Fall will be here soon–great camping and travel weather! I just got back from Texas and discovered some super cool places in OK and AR as well. Will tell you more about that later, but right now I wanna talk to you about getting the most out of our interstate travel plazas, visitor centers and rest areas.
Stuckey's–an American roadside tradition since the 1930's–famous for their pecan log rolls
The US is dotted with tons of these great travel assets. However, most people just stop at these facilities to use the restroom, get fuel, walk the dog, stretch their legs, etc. Of course these are all great reasons to stop, but don't overlook other amenities. Pay attention, talk to employees, and take advantage of everything these places have to offer. For example:
This visitor center in Texarkana, TX is like a library!
1. Discounted Tickets–Always check with the interstate visitor centers for discounted tickets to attractions, tours, special events, etc. Not only do they offer tons of FREE brochures, but the larger centers offer discounted tickets–as well as great money saving tips.
