Travel from Lake Conroe to Lake Whitney, Texas

· cat · map · RV · travel

We drove our coach 196 miles, about four hours of driving, from Lake Conroe to Lake Whitney, Texas.

Here’s the map route, heading northwest (fun fact: the dots along the route were to change it from the recommended route, to try to stick to more major highways, since it had recently snowed):

We had a bit of rain, so of course when we brought in our slide-outs we had a stream of water pouring off the slide toppers:

A GIF of the water (and if you look closely, you can see the slide moving in):
