Day 172: Corpus Christi Walmart, TX Sunny and cool. What is it about Whataburger? There is one on both sides of the street every half mile or so in Corpus Christi. So I did some research. They are headquartered in San Antonio, but the first few restaurants were in Corpus Christi. They started here in... Continue Reading →

Day 163: Garner State Park, TX Sunny and very warm. We did Drive #5, the Texas Swiss Alps Scenic Drive.
