New Episodes Are Here!

By chet | April 29, 2016

Brace yourselves because here at The Daytripper Headquarters we’ve been traveling to awesome towns around Texas and you won’t believe what we found: Texas-sized dinosaurs, Indian tales, ravenous alligators, towering canyons and Elvis… Starting this week, we’re airing the last FIVE episodes of Season 7, so here’s the list of episodes that you won’t want to miss. Be sure to check your local PBS station for premiere times.

DALLAS

DTSite_dallas160122_019 In Dallas, we soar to new heights on the Reunion Tower, learn about the Alamosaurus (a Texas dinosaur) at the Perot Museum and get into all kinds of crazy adventures in the Bishop Arts District. We also explore the nature side of the Big D on the trails by the Trinity River and eat all the food we can fit into our stomachs at Pecan Lodge and Chicken Scratch.

NEW BRAUNFELS

DTSite_newBraun150924_010 Between holding deadly snakes, feeding gators and learning to water-ski, things get pretty slippery in New Braunfels. But don’t worry, we also take time to enjoy the relaxing float of the Comal River and of course, eat up the delicious German goodies and spicy history in this town.

RICHMOND

DTSite_richmond160321_003 In Richmond we trip across the past, present and future of Texas. We learn about the good ol’ days on the George R. Ranch in the 1930s, eat phenomenal ethnic foods and learn about the mixed cultures in the area, and then catch a glimpse of the galaxy at the George Observatory.

TURKEY

DTSite_turkey160211_002 If you think Texas is flat then check out the Turkey episode to see the beautiful rocky canyons we explore in this Panhandle town. We also learn about the Indians that once inhabited this area from a modern-day Indiana Jones and see tools from the barbershop days of Bob Wills, the King of Western Swing.

HILLSBORO

DTSite_Hillsboro160219_022Our day trip to Hillsboro is a blast to the past – we enjoy homemade ice cream in a 50’s diner and find all sort of classic knick-knacks at the Roadside America museum. We even come across an old jailhouse with cells that hold tales of Bonnie and Clyde, Willie Nelson and Elvis Presley.
