Travel from Lake Conroe to Lake Whitney, Texas

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):
