We’ve now used our recent Thousand Trails membership purchase, and we’re parked at their Lake Conroe facility in Willis, TX (about an hour north of Houston). The drive from Louisiana was filled with LONG flat bridges over the bayou’s and such. Lot’s of signs for Boudin and Cracklin, but we didn’t stop. The GPS and other sources for directions suggested taking the non-Interstate route, which provided for some adventure and scenery, and did get us there in a timely manner. Probably saved $20 or more in gas due to it being shorter.
This place has an interesting procedure for check in. You start at the gate, and give them your member card. For that, you get a map, and instructions to go pick out a site. Not good after a long drive, with the sun about to set. We found a spot, and then had to deal with the CRV having a dead battery. Need to solve that one, as the towing setup was supposed to feed DC power back to the car so it wouldn’t drain the CRV battery.
Anyway, got a spot, got setup, got all the paperwork sorted, and found where the Laundry facilities are located. Today is work, and investigation into the possible Texas drivers license and such. Fridge needs some restocking too. Oh, and there’s a place nearby that has BINGO… We might have to check it out.
Diane is still trying to recover from her cold. Molly reports that she is much better, and enjoying her time with friends and grand-parents in California. I’m just pushing on. Hope to get the dash shelf, WiFi link, XM Radio, and CB Radio setup while we’re here, or at least as much as possible.
