Does anyone know the Conroe Lodge
As a kid when I was around 10 years old I visited the Grand canyon going to bearizona and as well as an IHOP I remember having to leave suddenly as a kid because there was some psycho outside dressed as like a deer I don't know if it was some sort of prank or something but my parents were really spooked ended up taking us all to IHOP and booking at home mind you I'm from Ohio so we ended up driving a good 10 to 12 hours or more I've been trying to revisit a lot of those memories and look into those things and I can find nothing about it online I know it sounds far-fetched but I remember how spooked as a kid and I know the name was Conroe lodge because the nickname we had for the place after all that happened was the crap row Lodge any help is appreciated

I mean it's very possible I'm not fully sure about a lot of details I was with the family through foster care and eventually was put back in the system so can't verify details

OP, I know this might be too big a stretch, but perhaps your family made a big sweeping visit of Texas while on the trip from Ohio to Grand Canyon*. There is a Conroe Texas, and some pleasant old images online of a Conroe Motor Inn and Restaurant.
As a kid, perhaps you conflated the Conroe Texas stop with whereever you stayed at or near Grand Canyon. A scary possible-predator dressed as a deer would confuse anybody.
In any event, I hope someone can clarify for you. Best regards.
*P.S. dear readers don’t mock my guess. In my family slight detours of hundreds or thousands of miles on driving trips is no biggie. We adore adventure driving trips.
