Today was a moving day. We were prepared to leave Colorado River Thousand Trails and head to Lake Conroe Thousand Trails which is about an hour north of Houston. Our first task was to put our destination coordinates in Randy, our Rand-McNally GPS wayfinding system, and the irritating little gizmo gave us a message that it could not find a route to Conroe. We tried to trick it into compliance but it refused to cooperate.
Peggy ultimately got the errant device to get us down some nice Texas back roads using a town-to-town technique but near the new campground the little fart would not give us the info we needed so we used Google Maps on our phone.
We happily were able to almost completely eliminate freeway driving and that is always our policy when selecting routes. The Texas highways we traveled today were bordered with a riot of wildflowers and when we got into our camping spot at Lake Conroe, we found they had gorgeous eastern bluebirds in the tree next to our trailer. They are handsome little squirts.
