We ended at Sumerville Lake TX which is a Civil Corps of Engineers spot. Beautiful as they all are. Started out in TX at their hospitality center at the border. Just wonderful with a boardwalk that is a path into the swamp. Would not believe you are at the interstate except for the sound of traffic passing. We totally bypassed Beumont TX and took state route 105 to avoid Houston all together. It’s about 50 miles north of Houston. Great smooth road although two-lane part of the way. The interstate is very rough. Went through Cut & Shoot, TX (very small town) and Lake Conroe which is a huge lake with lots of marinas etc. Kind of touristy with many, many very small churches and flea markets along the way there. Lots of new development. Also see more TX than US flags in front of houses, rvs, etc. This is definitely Ford pickup country. Fields are wonderful with Blue Bonnets and other wild flowers. Hope to get some pix when it is sunnier.
The area from Lake Conroe to Somerville Lake is more upscale with horse farms and cattle ranches. Kind of like Ocala FL really. Somerville Lake is beautiful and fishing seems to be the thing. Our rv neighbors are setting up their night lights for fishing. Much more natural than Lake Conroe. Unfortunately it is overcast so pictures only so so of Jack in his glory and a bird under the rv. We are having steaks that we bought, believe it or not, in a small BP gas station in Gautier MS that had a section for the local packing house. It's a tiny little town. They had lots of lunch business in the few tables they had for serving their deli food as well. We had pork chops from there last night that were yummy.
