February 10 Galveston to Lake Conroe

Today was a travel day so we picked up our stuff and left the Sandpiper RV Resort in Galveston headed north away from the Gulf of Mexico. We were soon on I-45 headed for Willis, Texas, which is about an hour north of Houston. Traffic was frightening in Houston, at least for old codgers like me. Almost everyone was driving faster than us. I was foolish and drove the speed limit.
Houston drivers seem to fall into two categories. The first category are those that drive sinuous, serpentine paths while being preoccupied with texting and talking on the phone. This category of folks do not use their turn signals. The second category drives too fast while texting and chatting on the phone and they leave one turn signal on continuously. There is a lot of highway construction or destruction in the Houston area so the result is a free-for-all with many near misses and close calls.
We eventually exited the nightmarish metropolitan area and continued north on I-45 until we pulled off in Willis and drove to the Thousand Trails Lake Conroe facility. We had a reservation which was fortunate because, despite this place being enormous, it was also nearly full and we may have snagged the last available back-in space. Lake Conroe TT has full hookups, large spaces, pay-as-you-go wifi and the big lake adjacent to the campground. This is our first time in this TT facility.
