Recently, I was placing photos for the upcoming photo set about the trip to Charleston that I made in October, which I briefly discussed in a Journal entry from late November. On the last day of that trip, I sent my drone up over the Buc-ee’s location in Florence, South Carolina, and got some aerial photos of the place where we have dropped far too much money on beaver-themed items on various trips. Then I realized something later, while I was operating the train: I had never shared the photos that I had taken of the Buc-ee’s that was going up in Mount Crawford, Virginia, which is about 30-40 minutes from where my parents live, when we went down for a quick overnight trip in February. I ran a photo of the former Texaco sign that’s located across the street (and I remember when that place was still a Texaco), but I never did anything with the Buc-ee’s shots. I admit that I’m somewhat excited about this Buc-ee’s location, because I will go by it with some regularity, unlike Crossville, Sevierville, or Florence. We will be able to hit up this Buc-ee’s just about any time that we want, plus see my parents in the process.
