New episodes of the Daytripper start airing TONIGHT! Check your local PBS station listing for details. We know that Houston and San Antonio are airing the new Round Rock episode this weekend. We are super excited the rest of Season 6 and invite you to come along on our adventures. So tune in and watch as we travel the across this great state we call home!
The first episode up is ROUND ROCK!
We had a great time on our BBQ Bus tour! Lots of full stomachs and happy faces along the way…not to mention the food comas. Huge thanks to Hwy 29 BBQ, Cooper’s BBQ, Opie’s BBQ and the Bluebonnet Cafe for great food and Texas hospitality.
Keep an eye on our website for future tours. The next one up is our Texas Distillery Tour on May 9. Details and tickets are available at the Daytripper General Store.
It’s time to hit the road on another Daytripper Bus Tour! This time we head west of Austin to visit some the best and newest distilleries. Texas Spirits is on the rise in popularity so join us as we learn about the process of making and sample great Rum, Bourbon and Vodka. Along the way we will have lunch at a small brew-pub as well and snag some Texas style beef jerky.
You won’t want to miss this trip. Please note, you must be 21 to come on this trip. We will be leaving from and returning to Georgetown. For more information, visit the Daytripper General Store.
Looking forward to seeing y’all on the bus!
If the worth of a Tex-ified kingdom were valued in cattle, oil, and land, then the King Ranch is the most powerful kingdom our state has ever seen. Dating back to the 1800′s, this ranch is almost as legendary as the Lone Star State itself. Exploring the ranch and the nearby town of Kingsville makes for a really fun adventure!
Be sure to tune into you local PBS station to watch.
You can also catch the show online. Check out our Kingsville episode page for the link.
We’re gonna take a moment here to REALLY thank one of our awesome new sponsors. If you’ve been watching Season 6, you know that Best Western Hotels of Texas recently teamed up with us and it couldn’t be a better fit. As you know, we LOVE traveling to small towns, and there’s a Best Western in almost every one. In fact, there are 231 Best Westerns across the Lone Star State. That’s a BUNCH!
For Seasons 1-5, we stayed at a number of Best Western Hotels, but now we get to stay at one on every shoot. The free wi-fi is always awesome, and our new ritual is to have our breakfast meeting over their free breakfast buffet. Because what’s a good night’s sleep if you don’t have a good breakfast to go along with it?
So, as you plan your trips, vacations, spring breaks or other roaming across Texas, be sure to include Best Western in those plans. We truly appreciate our sponsors, and literally wouldn’t have a show without them. Thank you Best Western.
Here’s the spot we made for them.

This is the perfect gift for your favorite Daytripper fan or even for yourself. We will leave from Georgetown, the Most Beautiful Square in Texas.
Date: January 31, 2015
Departing at 9AM and returning by 6PM.

In case you missed it, we celebrated Christmas in October!! Say what?!? Actually, we went to Grapevine on the Daytripper. Known as the Christmas Capital of Texas, we catch the spirt of the season. All along main street, in a local winery, and in the ice sculptures and snow hills of a local resort. We eat some Chili to stay warm, and then catch a train bound for the North Pole. Let’s his the road and get in the Christmas spirit early.
Be sure to tune into you local PBS station to watch. You can also catch the show online. Check out our Grapevine episode page for the link. Thanks for watching!
In case you missed it, we went to “Port Lavaca” on the Daytripper. Along the water’s edge of Matagorda Bay, we explore the food and history of this coastal town. From La Salle’s landing spot, to old Indianola, to a cast-iron lighthouse in a wildlife refuge. Will we catch enough to eat along the way? You’ll have to wait and see. Let’s hit the road.

In case you missed it, we headed to Marble Falls! It’s more than just hill country, this town is art country with art on main street and in the nearby Pogue Foundry. It’s adventure country on an ATV in the dirt, a SUP board on the water, and a hang glider in the sky. Which takes us even higher than the pie. Let’s hit the road.

Corn Dogs, Fried Butter, and even Fried Thanksgiving Dinner. Let’s hit the road.

Finally – We are very excited to announce our next “Trippin’ with Chet” tour happening on Saturday, October 4, 2014.
We had so much fun trippin’ and sippin’ wine in the Texas Hill Country, that we decided it would be a BLAST to sample the wine from another region of Texas. So, we’re headed to Grapevine (and beyond) to see what sorts of wine this part of Texas is turning out.
Join us as we spend a fun-filled day exploring North Texas Wineries! We’ll be leaving out of Grapevine for a full day of adventure and visiting FOUR Texas wineries across the Metroplex. Throw in some BBQ, our crew, some shenanigans and surprises (of course), and this is sure to be an AMAZING day.
Tickets are $199 each which includes all transportation, all food, all tours, wine at each location, fun, games, and DAYTRIPPER-ific memories. See you there!
Get your ticket in The Daytripper General Store.
If you’ll be driving in and need a place to stay, we’ve got an excellent group rate of $69/night at Best Western Plus near Grapevine. Call them at (972) 870-0530 and mention “Daytripper” to get the rate.
My 5 year old was in heaven. My bug-terrified wife – not so much.
