May 2-4, 2010 – More Branson, Missouri

Sunday’s Road Trip

Today our travels took us to Table Rock Dam Area.   First we visited the Fish Hatchery and Visitor Center below the dam:

Very interesting.   This lake is one of the largest in Missouri and it extends for quite a few miles.   There are a number of Corps campgrounds all around it and if we come back, we will check on a few of them.

The rest of the day was on and off rain and I did some shopping at Wal-Mart, then we just hung out.

Monday was an absolutely beautiful day – no rain, blue skies and sun.  So this morning, we took our Sea-Eagle kayak out and went for a paddle:

We paddled out to Lake Taneycomo but did not stay long because of the currents but we did see 2 blue herons – Beautiful and HUGH birds….

And this evening we went to see the show – Baldknobbers – one of the oldest shows in Branson.  Great time and highly recommended.

Tuesday, today, was another beautiful day…  I did the laundry and we both did some things around the motorhome.  Tomorrow we are heading out so stay tuned.
