The Daytripper

From the well-known landmarks to the completely obscure dives and hideaways, join host Chet Garner as he takes you on an adventure throughout Texas and then gets you back home before dark (or at least close enough). You're sure to leave each episode excited and eager to get out of your own seat and launch a daytrip adventure of your own.
The Daytripper is proudly sponsored by Rudy’s "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q, Ranch Hand Truck Accessories, Georgetown, TX, Don Hewlett Chevrolet, Texas Farm Bureau Insurance, and Dell. The Daytripper is is presented by Austin PBS, KLRU-TV and distributed by NETA.
