Branson on Day 1
Well we drove from Mountain View this morning to first Springfield Missouri the home of Harry Truman. I had wanted to see his home but unfortunately Springfield is a very large city with it seems an even larger medical community complex. This looked like UCLA when we drove thru and there was no easily recognized visitor info center close at hand. That plus it was freezing cold and the wind was exacerbating me after driving for the last 1 ½ hours with either a head wind of 30-40 mph or a cross wind just as bad. That does tend to grate on your nerves when there are hills and mountains with cross winds in an RV.
So on we went to Branson and stopped at one of the so called “visitor information centers”. Well these are really nothing but someone wants to sell you something. So yesss indeedeee we did buy some tickets to two shows the following two days and did get some information on RV parks in the area. Actually if you discount the hype we did get some tickets for ½ off for some meals which were probably overpriced anyway and we did get info on the shows that are here.
We decided to spend 3 nights here in Branson at the City Lakeside Campground which is within the city and on the river or lake as you might call it. It is a nice water view site right next to the marina and they do have wifi but unfortunately the site I picked next to the water is a long ways from the office and the signal does not reach me. So, off I will go tonight and try at the office or campground recreation room which has been my modus operandi so far on this trip.
Today we also had the RV and the Jeep service again. Yes it was again time for an oil change and lubrication for the vehicles and I was glad that it did not take long to perform and they seemed to do a good job. So that done we should now be good until we get back to CA.
As I said it is cold here so we are glad to have full hookups and we may be running the heater part of the night. Bev does not like to do this but I fear if we do not we may have frozen water pipes.
Well ya al have a good day and if’n the crik don’t rise why weel lsey ya al tamora.

A trick we use to keep our water lines from freez'n was we got a hold of Redytemp that circulates the water through out the system so the water in the pipes won't freeze. It also gives us hot water without wait'n so long like most RV owners do. We just love ours.
