She found a laundry facility here in the park that is remote from the main campground and took the duds for a scrub there. She noted that the laundry facility is located such that you can get the best view in the park of Lake Conroe from the parking lot.<br \/>\n\tToday, however, we were out and about and took a drive up through nearby Sam Houston National Forest about 20 minutes north of our campground. We found a good road with a bridge that took us into the forest and across a finger of Lake Conroe. The terrain around there is pretty much big lake on one side and swampy forest on the other. We found a place down Kagle Road (no kidding) where there are many currently almost-vacant campgrounds that have an abundance of terrific campsites right along Lake Conroe. Full hookups, flush toilets, bike trails, hiking opportunities and all for $19 a night with a federal geezer pass.<br \/>\n\tOut on I-45 which bisects the National Forest, some funny Texans have erected an enormous statue of Sam Houston. Funny it&#8217;s not down the road in Houston. On the way back home we also passed by a big housing development with a strange marketing strategy. Their marketing strategy pundits must have said \u201cwe want folks to feel whole here\u201d and the PR guys ran with it. They now have put up a series of billboards next to the road that advertise \u201cA WHOLE community\u201d and \u201cA WHOLE lifestyle.\u201d They may be right.<br \/>\n      Check the A WHOLE&#8217;s pictures by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/photos.app.goo.gl\/Lnw8rkDX9S4k6jHq2\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I was a slug and Peggy did the wash.
