The drive to Branson, Missouri was a lovely one the trees were in full colour and the road pleasant.
We arrived early on Saturday, October 24 and spent time down town Branson and then went to a concert that evening called The Legends with imitators George Streit, Marilyn Munroe, The Blues Brothers, The Temptations and of course Elvis Presley. We had a driver take us to where we wanted to go so we didn't have to drive the big beast. The camp ground, Shenanigans was wonderful and they helped us arrange all our good times. Branson is a place where we could go back to and still have a great time. It is a small town of 9,000 population, but is built up like it was much larger and has at least 50 concert halls, most of which have performances everyday. The next day we drove to Tulsa,Oklahoma and it was a beautiful day! We decided to play a round of golf at the Page Belcher Golf Course. We enjoyed the drive to Tulsa but, our stay was short. Tulsa is best known historically at least as being the home of Will Rogers. Oklahoma is the home state of Dick Cheney. We think he owns a concrete plant as most of the highways were built of concrete and they were rough and not well maintained. The next day we left for Dallas, Texas.
East Oklahoma is quite poor and has a large community of native people. The trend for making their living seems to be building and managing huge casinos. The drive through Dallas was amazing! Traffic was huge but the people were kind to Canadians in a big long motorhome. We made our way to the southern middle part of Dallas and near Fort Worth. Today, we got caught up with maintanence and had a golf game at the Riverside Golf Club. The weather was beautiful, about 80 F and very pleasant. Tomorrow we head off south towards San Antonio after a brief visit to historic Fort Worth. All is going well and now we once again have television. Our converter had packed it in so now are going direct to 110 only. We'll give an update in a few days.
