Thanks for the advice. It seems I have made the decision to go back to I-10 on 87. I am on the Bolivar Penn. and will go 124- I-10 to 610 north side, to 290 to 6. My trailer is 37 ft. long and I will likely wait until 9:30 to leave here so that puts me into Houston at 10:30 - 11:00. Should be OK I am thinking. It is what it is. Patience is in order.
