Just one of the MANY Exxon Stations in Texas This one is on the Seawall - Galveston. |
One
immediately thinks of Exxon when you mention there is a Tiger Truck Stop.
No, I'm afraid this one is different. It starts like this:
On
the way to LSU in Baton Rouge, I noticed
the sign at the side of I-10 near Grosse Tete. No doubt I had to
check this place out! As soon as drove in, I could tell this place
is highly tigerrific - A Tiger Restaurant, Gas Station and yes, the cage
with the live tigers.
|
See Live Tigers - WOW! |
 
One frustrated Tiger! Look at the heavy iron bars! Exactly like being in prison. He growled! |
I
couldn't help notice the amount of steel between myself and the Tigers.
Yes, folks, these are dangerous animals. No doubt about it, since
I would be dangerous too in that kind of cage. Not suprising the
caged area also reaked to high heaven.
Finally I should point out that conveniently, the truckers' showers were next to the Tiger Den. Well, how about that! Imagine taking a shower, then getting quite a suprise after the steam settles. A stripey friend blocking the door, staring at you and licking his chops! It can happen, given the proximity. I suspect it does happen to those truckers who don't pay their diesel bills ! When my flash went off, as I took these pictures, the Tiger roared at me! Goes right through you! |
