Say hello to Texaco!

I’ve always liked the Pacific Northwest of the USA. The images of tall trees and wide, yet winding, roads gleaned from 1980s cult movies and second rate sitcoms like Harry and the Hendersons.

So when I found myself on a Wikipedia page that happened to contain a picture of a Texaco forecourt in WA, USA - indeed the entry for Texaco itself -I just had to delve further, and thanks to the magic of the interweb I am pleased to report my findings.

It is the Paradise Market Texaco, 6476 Mt Baker Hwy, Maple Falls, WA 98266, USA
