Well, I am reminded why I want to sell my boat since moving to Houston. 
It was an 8 hour ordeal yesterday for only a hour and a half of boating.
But it was great to get the boat out since the last year's Forth of July.

Why 8 hour ordeal? 45 locked up? Launch issues? Wife would have strangled me for that..... :>)

I'm going to venture that it has something to do with that brown ring that conroe leaves! And the awesome traffic. Rick you should check out canyon. Beautiful clear water, a little on the small side but it's very nice and clean.

We live in Midtown, Houston and had to drive to Dickinson where the boat is. Traffic between Midtown and Clear Lake on the weekends is not fun when the weather is nice. Fueled up, hooked up and drove back north for an hour and half. Stopped at HEB in Conroe for some boat food and fuel. Drove to the ramp and then in the water. Enjoyed it for about an hour and a half and pulled her out. Lucky for us the scum ring wasn't too bad, but we still usually have 30-45 minutes of wiping down (OCD), strapping down and covering up. Then our WAZE app told us traffic was building going to the boardwalk area so we drove on 8 back west to 45. Unhooked the boat, put everything away and drove back Dickinson to Midtown for what turned out to be a good night's sleep.
Where is Canyon? Did a quick search and something came up near Amarillo?
