Branson!

Well, we arrived in Branson on Thursday. We are in the ABC Campground. We weren't the first RV.net people here, so we immediately found people to talk to. Met a lot of new members of the forum and revisited old friends as well. Had a "gathering" the first day in order to welcome everyone and pass out "goodie" bags.

We did some sightseeing while we were here and road the "Ducks," the amphibious thing-ies and go on the land and the water. We went into the water with a hugh splash and drove out around an island on Table Rock Lake. Would certainly like to have had the boat here and did a little traveling on the lake. The lake is 90 miles long. Could certainly have some fun there I am sure.

We've met a lot of nice people, including a few teachers, one retired, one not. The people next to us have full timed for 8 years and I think are about the same age as us.

It has been very very hot and humid here. It is very uncomfortable outside. Today several campers registered 101 degrees at their site. It wasn't as humid today as yesterday, however, and I thought it felt cooler. We have all decided that Branson is NOT the place to be in July. This is the second time we have been here in July and it was hot then as well.

We have been out to eat a couple times with friends, but didn't go see any shows. Shame on us. I cannot believe how large Branson has grown since we first came here about 11 years ago. Back then there was only 1 thoroughfare through the town.

We are leaving in the morning for South Dakota to become residents of that great state. I'm sure we won't be there tomorrow. It will take at least another day of traveling as well.

Till next time. . .
