We saw a few
more of these beautiful Kansas sunsets than we had planned.
We got all
packed up and ready to leave last Friday morning. The last thing to do was let the air system
raise us up so we weren’t sitting right on our tires so we could move – didn’t
happen. One of the air bags had a
leak. A service call from a company
David uses for his farm equipment and trucks confirmed we needed an air bag
replaced. Naturally, the closest air bag
that would work was in Chicago – it would be Monday afternoon before it would
be into Pratt, KS. We unpacked and
settled in for a few more days. The air
bag arrived promptly and installation was quick so we were on our way Monday
afternoon. Really enjoyed our stay.
Our
windshield was a little streaked and bug splattered but the trip through the
Ozark Mountains was still beautiful.
We spent
Tuesday evening in Branson at the Musicland Kampground.
This is a
really hilly, wooded campground.
Thankfully, the guy who guided us to our site had done this a lot he was
able to guide Greg while he was blindside backing into the site.
We just
barely fit, the bike is hanging over into the trees. Luckily, we didn’t plan on unloading the bike
for just a one night stay.
The
campground is located just behind the Titanic Museum. We didn’t tour the museum, entrance fee was
$25 each. It might very well have been
worth it but I wasn’t willing to take a chance.
I was,
however, willing to take a tour of Stone Hill Winery which included a free wine
tasting. We spent our money more wisely
on wine.
I was amazed
that a tourist town such as Branson had such poor sidewalks
Or, no
sidewalks at all. It is definitely not a
walking friendly town. Before we left Kansas we had worked up to 3.25 miles a day, but there are a lot of steep inclines here that we aren't used to.
From the
winery we walked for a while. Paschettis
Restaurant looks pretty interesting from the outside.
The
Hollywood Wax Museum also looks interesting.
King Kong
close up. The sun wasn’t really in the
right position to get a good shot of him.
In the
evening we walked to the Clay Cooper Theater to see the Haygoods.
The Haygoods
is a family of six very talented siblings who sing and play all kinds of
instruments. We highly recommend this
show if you are in the area.
Tonight we
will be looking at the arch from our site at the Casino Queen RV Park.
We are
getting closer to Indiana by the day. We
will be at the Caboose Campground in Rensselaer, IN on Friday.
