Pecan Logs - Only 10 More Miles to Stuckeys! And pralines, peanut brittle, and souveniers. Seeing a Stuckey's roadside sign takes me back to a most innocent time in my life. I always wanted one of those shabby looking cheesy, carved-face coconuts. When I was a child, Stuckeys was almost the only place to get lunch, gas, and take a bathroom break on the roads thru Georgia and Florida when we traveled to Miami and Fort Lauderdale each year. My sister and I sat in the back seat and yelled out when we saw the signs along the highway telling our Father how many more miles to the next Stuckey's. Even if we'd just pulled out of one, we'd carry on so much he'd sometimes pull right in to the next one. I'm sure he was hoping we'd take a nap and not notice any more signs or we'd never make our destination. The more I think about it, I could really go for one of those pecan logs right about now. Did you have a special place you always stopped at on trips?
