We decided to head to the Smoky Mountains to enjoy the fall foliage and do some hiking. (Little did we know that pretty much every other person this side of the Mississippi River had the same idea! More on that later.)
Since moving to Florida, we have repeatedly heard of "Buc-ees" - a convenience store/gas station phenomenon that has a cult-like following. (Yup - we're serious.) So after many drives up/down I-95 going from/to Florida, we finally decided to make the effort to go to a Buc-ees (which also advertise immaculate bathrooms).
The place was HUGE! It was WAY more than a "convenience store" - there was a full grocery section, clothing area, touristy stuff, cookbooks, gift items, etc.... Pretty much they had everything. They even have these "famous" brisket sandwiches (yes, we tried one - it was okay),
a dozen (or more) types of jerky,
a bakery, and more. Oh yes, and the restrooms were very clean. And there is gas, for sure. No exaggeration - about 100 pumps. All this being said, we wouldn't go back. It takes WAY too much effort to get to the bathrooms and the gas pumps - much easier to go to a more traditional gas station - and most of the time time a decent one has clean bathrooms.
Hello from Brad & Buc-ee!
