A follow up from my original question. I took 105 from Brenham to Beaumont and stopped over at the KOA in Montgomery. It?s a good road and I didn?t have any significant issues. Anytime I can avoid interstate traffic through cities I try to. I would definitely do it again. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks

How is it taking the toll road with a TT and no pass? How do you pay toll?
