On the road at 9.15 am, starting our 135 mile trip south
towards Houston. It was a good trip, the
roads were OK, some roadworks but no delays.
Saw lots of cotton growing. The
I45 was eventful, on the north bound lanes we saw the result of two 18 wheelers
coming together in a way not intended.
One was facing back our way and the other was in the ditch facing the
right way. Didn’t look like anyone hurt,
luckily.

Arrived at TT Lake Conroe, they are expanding, 67 new
concrete patio sites (The Reserve) have been laid out next to the existing
park. They hope to have it all open and
operational by November. Good to see
some money being spent by Thousand Trails.

| Nice new flat concrete sites in The Reserve |
This park is much more like the resort style we kinda
expected from Thousand Trails. The roads are pretty good, the pool looks lovely
with it’s matching red umbrella’s and cabana’s as we pass on the way to find
our site.

WIFI here is by a third party and so is the Cable TV, you
pay for both. We picked a 50 amp full
hook up pull through site in section F, close to the pool and activity centre
etc. Usual surcharge of $3 for 50
amp. Our site is almost level but quite
narrow, it’s one of those double side by side sites designed for two rigs, each
facing opposite directions with their road sides together. There is no one next to us though, in fact
most doubles here have only one rig on them.
Our grass area is a bit hilly, will need to watch our heads on the
awning won’t we Kim!
After we have set up and had something to eat, I go off for
an explore. The pool indeed looks very
nice and I will head there soon, there is only the one pool but there is an
adult only hour from 9-10am. The Jacuzzi
is adults only. The cabanas look
inviting!

| Could while away an hour or two here! |

| Poolside, lots of vacant recliners, one has my name on it! |

There is a sandy beach on the lake with a boat rental kiosk,
some docks and a boat launch.

They have permanents here too but they are away in a separate
area – Extended Vacation Sites they are called here, the ranger told us not to
bother looking for a site in those areas. The activity centre is central and close to us. Outside activities include mini golf, tennis, pickleball,
softball, basketball (I through a few hoops for practise) and volleyball. There is a fitness centre, café (not open
today) and a separate adult centre.
There are some cute cabins in the Getaway Village too.
Overall it has a nice feel and we will enjoy our last six sleeps
in the coach here.
Sounds as if you've left the best for last. You might even get back in time to attend Suzanne Willis' farewell morning tea at Spring Chickens on 26 October!
