Good Morning and Welcome back to Bathroom Blues Travel Blog!
I pray your holidays were blessed and happy and your new year has started off prosperous.
We stopped with our 2025 Summer Vacation in Delta, UT and Great Basin National Park. Before we head further north/west toward Salt Lake City, I wanted to take a moment to share something that happened last week.
My son lives in Nacogdoches, TX and I have traveled basically the same route to his house several times a year for twenty years and let me tell you, you never know when you'll learn something new.
Jasper, TX is about half-way from my home in SWLA to my son's place and the perfect time to stretch your legs a bit before continuing the 3-3.5 hr. trip.
Well, this past week I went to dog-sit for a couple of days while my son was at a dance convention (he is a coach/teacher/choreographer). I stopped at the Murphy, USA station in Jasper, TX to fill up my car and needed to use the restroom. Now, most of these convenience stores have their bathrooms on the outside. Not finding one, I've gone into the WalMart at that same location.
But, this time, something kept nagging at me.
So, after topping off my tank, I pulled around the building and asked someone if there was a restroom inside.
"I have no idea, ma'am," was his response.
Instead of leaving and going into the WM Supercenter, I went inside the store and guess what?!
Yep, they have one of the cleanest, nicest restrooms I'd ever been in!
All those times I had to make the trek into the big WM...
Not that I can't use the walk, LOL! But seriously, you just never know when you're going to find a hidden gem on the same old path. And, since the title of this blog is Bathroom Blues, I wanted to share with you one that had me singing a happy tune.
So if you're ever traveling on 190W, passing through, The Jewel of the Forest, and need a quick pittstop, check out the Murphy, USA.
Next time we'll get back to our regularly scheduled vacation posts.
Until then, travel happy. 😊
