Jacks down in Prior Lake, MN

We got were all set up about 2PM, it was a good trip.  Somehow we missed rain the two days of travel.  We saw wet highways and water puddles places but didn't get any on us until we were all set up.  We don't like to travel in the rain but can if we must.  We got a Star Tribune Sunday paper - this has to be the best paper in the U.S.  Went out for a quick hamburger in the evening.  We are both very tired.

Moving, Moving, Moving

After watching the weather and thinking of every possible option we finally, finally decided to head north today.  We got to Osceola Iowa about 3PM, not many people at our usual campground.  We went to Arby's for a sandwich as our old favorite Made Right is now a Subway.  We were not in any rain but went through several areas where it recently had rained.

Ride on the back roads

It is good to get away from the tourist area after awhile.  We took a trip around the Tandycomo tail waters, there are a couple little towns, some campgrounds, etc.  One area used to be a playground for the rich from Kansas City and St. Louis.  They would take the train to Hollister and then a boat.  Also there is a old dam that still generates power.  We went to Steak and Shake for dinner one last time before we head north where there are no such places.

Shopping in Branson

We did some shopping today at an outlet mall, purchased nothing.  Then on to K Mart to see what they have and picked up a couple things.  We had lunch at Culver's before coming home.  The weather has been warm today.

From worst Buffet to best Buffet

We had breakfast at the Grand Buffet today and it was a grand breakfast, one of the best ever.  Afterwards we walked it off at Wal Mart.  Then we spent the rest of the day around home.  Grilled steak for dinner and talked to our daughters.

The Haygoods

We went to the Haygoods show this evening.  We usually go there when in Branson, they never fail to please.
