Default Riding in West-by-God Texas?

Long story short- if you're On I-10 west bound, you best fill up in Ozona. On I-10 east bound, you best fill up in Fort Stockton. Great ride, but if you're not paying attention and you let your gauge get to "W" for walk, it'll sure suck to be you.

You got that damn straight.

Out in that area, I ALWAYS wind up at this gas station for some reason. Can anyone pinpoint where it is? Which exit or town?

AND this sign is around the other side of this gas station. LOL





Under
Pumps to the left. In the shadow area (overhand) there is a picnic table with mex's drinking beer and talking or playing cards.

As they say, u can't make this **** up.

Thank you but that is not it my friend.

It is on the north side of Route 10 and very close to the route.

With Sheffield (which is on the south side), you need to drive a little distance to get there. And there are Street's around you.

Thank you for trying,

Mark

Be sure to do the twisted sisters. Also on the south end of the twisted sisters you have leaky. You may want to drop into the Frio Canyon Motorcycle Stop for a T-Shirt. <-- You did the Twisted Sisters. LOL!!

See below.



They are also very nice people. The owners.

Ilan Texas and now Austin Tx, has Old Tyme Coopersmith BBQ which is TOPS!

There is another phenomenally good barbecue place. If you like barbecue let me know and I will look it up. It is in a very bad section but supposedly it is the best in the USA.
