This Texas Welcome Center provides the usual features of a rest stop, including a professional travel center full of brochures and helpful travel counselors.<\/p>\n

Make sure you take time to stretch your legs on the boardwalk over Blue Elbow Swamp to enjoy views of a southeast Texas swamp; maybe you will see a gator!*<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to take a picture in front of the Texas Star!<\/p>\n

I have traveled Interstate 10 so many times, and I thought it would be fun to share a little Interstate 10 trivia with you:<\/p>\n

Texas Interstate 10 Trivia:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Texas’ I-10 is 878.6 miles long.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Padilly has driven all 878.6 miles!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is\u00a0the longest continuous untolled freeway under a single authority in the\u00a0USA.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Mile Marker 1, you are closer<\/em> to Los Angeles, California, than Orange, Texas.<\/span><\/p>\n

From around El Paso to Fort Stockton, the speed limit is 80 mph.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Mile Marker 570 in San Antonio, you can head north on I-35 to Austin and go deep in the heart of Texas. \u2665<\/span><\/p>\n

When you reach Mile Marker 880 (heading east), you can take the Sabine River Turnaround to stay in Texas. Smart Move! \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n

Mile Marker 880 is the highest mile marker and exit marker in the US Highway Interstate System or any other US Freeway.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Mile Marker 879 (heading west), make sure to\u00a0stop at the Texas Welcome Center<\/a> to get\u00a0your own photo with the Texas Lone Star!<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Trails!
\nMrs. Padilly<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

*Terrible floods in May 2015 caused the Sabine River to rise, cause great damage to this welcome center. \u00a0During my last stop in May 2016, they were still working on repairs, but all bathroom facilities and snack machines are working.<\/p>\n

Happy Trails,<\/span><\/strong>
