Treasure Lake RV Resort, Branson, MO


We arrived before noon after missing the turn for the park because we can't follow directions, turn right after the IMAX theater... how simple. Nice park close to all the stuff. Have tickets to see Shoji the Japanese fiddle player Wednesday at 3:00. Went by the Case xx knife store biggest selection I have ever seen, to many to pick from, stopped and got a schedule of IMAX movies.

Tuesday
we went to the Butterfly place today.

Thursday
We went to see the The Twelve Tennors this morning. There are so many old people in Branson, MO that it makes Spring Hill, FL look like a youth camp.

Sunday
We went to our first IMAX film this afternoon, I was impressed, Sue took a nap.

Cloud 9 Ranch, Caulfield, MO


Traveled US160 from Poplar Bluff to Cloud 9, 140 miles of great motorcycle road and I enjoyed every hill and curve and still made it here on time. Sue said we averaged 35 mph and she really enjoyed the ride, ha.


The first part of the trip, until we exited the Mark Twain National Forest there were at least 4 or 5 pickups or cars at each trailer or structure, some still had their wheels and some didn't and not more than one would run. In that section I had to stop or slow down, or blow my horn for the dogs in the road mostly hound dogs. Saw one hunt club for fox & coyote so I guess the dogs had a good home somewhere.


One thing I noticed every 1/4 mile were critters dead on the road, squirrels, possums, armadillos, coons, and others, in various stages of squish.

Josh would love this campground there are 600 sites in 5 separate campground areas and covers 10 sq. miles or 6300 acres, with ATV trails everywhere.

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 This morning after our walk we went to West Plains which is 18 miles and got fuel, Wal-Mart, and lunch at Jimmie’s Walleye & Catfish another good old boy restaurant and it was great, we had gone by earlier in the day and could tell it would be good by the number of pickups and cars there for breakfast.

Humming Bird

Even though it is raining it hasn't slowed the humming birds down, they are on schedule with the filling of the feeder, just shy of 2 cups 4 times a day. They are going to miss us Monday.

It has been raining all morning and is much needed, the lack of rain here has been so bad that a lot of large trees that have survived for years have died.
