    As an older rider with back and knee problems, I find it handy to carry a small folding camp stool in my kit. Amazon will have lots of styles (a tri-fold is compact) to pick from. Happy motoring Miz Doodle!

    I have a challenge for you my young friend! Ride around Texas so you can then ask why everything is bigger in Texas! Start in Texarkana (Don't spend the night) take 82 then 287 through Amarillo (Eat at the Big Texan) (Palo Duro Canyon State Park is cool if you want to camp). Motor on up to Dalhart then turn south to El Paso. From there head to Corpus Christi then east through Beaumont and home! This will take a few days and will be quite the adventure taking you through hill country then desert then to the Gulf Coast. Skip Houston and go through Galveston (Hit the beach at Freeport) and take the Ferry across! September/October would be a good time. Happy Trails!

    In 2020 I made a gas stop at a Bucees in Terrell, TX. Part of a series of rides I took on a maxi scooter to see the Southern States. Unfortunately I was traveling with peasant means so aside from getting gas, all I could do was take a brief look around inside the store. The cashiers were uncommonly pleasant.
