March Madness? (Conroe, TX)

It has been a slow month for us except for Dan fixing broken items in the motorhome, both of us running errands, and shopping.  We left Columbus over two weeks ago after the big cold front came through Texas bringing with it two days of rain with Flash Flood Warnings.  We spent the day watching the Colorado river rise behind our site.  We could not leave the park because the small stream at the entrance had flooded the small bridge. 
Lucky for us, the weather cleared up just before we got back on the road.  Dusty was not a happy camper about leaving our site.  He wanted more time to hunt for gofers or moles.  He was positive he was going to catch one any day now.
 We did not spend much time exploring the area, but Sandy managed to get a few photos of birds around the park while walking the cats.

We arrived on Conroe Lake to a very soggy campground.  We had a hard time finding a decent spot because we did not realize it was Spring Break.  The park was booming with families everywhere.
We finally found a 'less mud and more grass' site on the backside of the park with a field behind us.  We cannot see the lake from the site, but it is a short walk and we are down there almost every day.  The view is wonderful and the ducks come up to see if we have some food for them.  Once they realize we don't have food for them, they take off in a hurry....no food...no photos!
We will be heading east in early April.  We made a change in our travel plans.  We decided we were ready for another winter in Key West and cancelled our winter stay in Arizona.  Instead of heading west, we will be making our way east.  Florida!  Here we come!
