Branson, MO

We buttoned up the bus and drove over to the full hookup sites in the campground to check and see if our 50amp plug worked or was damaged.  Thankfully, it worked as it should and we didn't have to schedule an appointment to have it repaired.  That was a relief.

It was time to depart Hermann and head down the road to Branson, MO and that entailed a 230 mile drive.  The first 35 miles were on a narrow, curvy back road that luckily didn't have much traffic.  We took MO 94 which runs alongside of the Missouri River which was in sight a number of times.  We picked up a better road near Jefferson City, MO and after that it was a breeze driving down here.

We are setup at the Oak Grove campground in Branson very near the downtown area.  We've stopped here in the past and like the convenience of being close to everything.  It was an easy drive in Branson and there didn't seem to be many people here today.

We watched the Bronco-Texans football game and just relaxed.   It was a good game except for some cheap hits by the Broncos on the Texan quarterback.  The Broncos mounted a late scoring rally but fell short in the end.

There were some famous people born on this day in 1939 including Roberta Flack, Wolfman Jack, Dion DiMucci and Larry Clark.  I hope they had as nice of a day as I have.  Numerous emails wishing me a happy birthday, phone calls from friends and family and a Jackie Lawson email from Ron & Dee.  Thank you all for remembering me on my special day.  Gerry prepared one of my favorite meals, spaghetti, and we enjoyed a nice merlot wine with the meal.  

Life is good.
