Heart of Texas General Bonus List
1GB. Charles A. Lindbergh:
GPS: N29 40 15.3 W100 00 46.4
Located in Campwood, TX at Lindbergh Park on TX Hwy 55 between East 5th and East 6th streets.
Texas was important in the career of aviation hero Charles A. Lindbergh (1902-75). When he bought his
first World War I surplus Jenny in Georgia, he flew it to Texarkana in 1923, so he could say he had flown
in Texas -- the ambition of every barnstormer. With L. A. Klink in March 1924, he landed Klink's Canuck
in Camp Wood while trying to fly to California. The next day in attempting a take-off, he accidentally
crashed into Warren Puett's Store. No one was hurt, and his offer to pay for the damage was rejected.
Then called "Slim," Lindbergh made many friends here. Two weeks after visiting Camp Wood, he
became a U.S. Air Service cadet at Brooks Field, San Antonio. He completed advanced flight training at
Kelly Field in 1925. On May 20-21, 1927, he made the first solo flight from New York to Paris, to world
acclaim. Later in 1927, he returned to Texas, surveying the first commercial transcontinental air route
through Amarillo; in 1929, he inaugurated U.S.-Mexico airmail in Brownsville. A great aviation pioneer,
he drew up and proved many major world air routes. He flew combat in World War II; collaborated in
medical research; helped organize the Berlin airlift; and remained a hero to people of Camp Wood and
Texas.

7GB.Whataburger:
GPS: N/A
Any WhataBurger restaurant within the State of Texas. Texas Whataburger locations.
Way back in 1950, an adventurous and determined entrepreneur named Harmon Dobson opened
up the world’s first Whataburger on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, Texas. He had a simple goal,
to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold and so good that with one bite customers
would say, “What a burger!” He succeeded on both accounts and turned that one little burger
stand into a legend known throughout Texas and the South. Today, each and every Whataburger
is made to order, right when it’s ordered. And they’re still made with 100% pure American beef
and served on a big toasted five-inch bun with all ‘the extras’ to suit your taste. Grilled
jalapenos, extra bacon, three slices of cheese, no tomatoes, extra pickles? No problem, your
Whataburger will be made just like you like it 24 hours a day 7 days a week. More than half a
century later, with Harmon’s son, Tom, at the company helm, Whataburger still remains familyowned and operated. Employees at Whataburger are even referred to as Family Members and it
is the privilege and promise of each and every one to uphold the tradition that Harmon began. So
now with over 700 Whataburger restaurants across ten states, road-trippers and hometown folks
alike continue gathering under the big orange and white roofs for the fresh made to order burgers
and friendly service.
Obtain a receipt from any Whataburger within the State of Texas for a purchase or a no sale with a time
stamp from 0700 to 1600 hours(7:00 AM-4:00 PM.)with the store number, the address and dated April
