Going down to do some work on Monday and wondering what's there to do.
|
| Nothing to do, as mentioned. Best advice is work until you only want to sleep. Get it done and go home. If you are working west of Cotulla, be "extreeeemly" careful driving, javelina, deer, cattle, f'ing rock truck drivers, bad roads, 45 mph minivans, 80 mph F250's and everything else... Be careful. Don't know where you are coming from but it is different here. |

Pack a sidearm.
Don't stop for unmanned gates, don't get out of your truck. I have heard of a lot of carjackings where they set up gates and wait for you to get out to open them. I was down there for a year and a half and never had issues, but I was fracking and we always had big crews and a lot of traffic. Good luck! |
drive to fowlerton and check out whats left of a once booming cattle town.. stop in at the mall while ur there.. : ) head to jordanton for a bite at the dairy queen.. it is one of the nicest dairy queens ive ever been to.. pleasonton has a big walmart ( its one of the walmarts where a customer has been bitten by a rattle snake INSIDE the store) and a couple of really good bbq joints

I have not been there since before the boom kicked off. Spent about seven months there in 2006 and 7. It is your typical south Texas small town. Lots of Mexicans as in whites are definitely the minority. Really nothing much to do there or even close by. Laredo and San Antonio are the closest big places but they are an hour plus drive. My advice is work long hours get your work done and head home.
