What a day! It started with a 10:00 am show. We purchased tickets to The Irish Tenors and Celtic Women. What we saw was Tenors singing a few Irish pub songs, women singing a few Celtic songs and the rest were songs from Tom Jones, Elton John, ect. Great show but not what we expected. I still want to see the real show.
After the show we managed to park the rig at olive garden and we had a great meal. Following our meal we went in search of a Laundromat so we could wash our comforter. The GPS lead us on Mr. Toads Wild Ride. I should have known we were in trouble when we were waiting on the train to pass. But we went forward on a very narrow road which turned to gravel, but the GPS said we were still on track. Then we came to a very difficult turn. The rig could not make the turn so there was a lot of backing up and inching forward. We continued with the GPS guiding us up a hill, one lane, and then she said "you have arrived at your destination." What? We were outside of a lovely log cabin in the middle of nowhere and no place to turn around. I have to say Chris is no longer a beginner...he has advanced to expert in a single day. Somehow, without killing us, he managed to get us back down the hillside and as soon as we turned onto the highway we found wonderful laundry facility to get our comforter cleaned. Quite a journey. We met lovely people while doing our laundry.
Next we went to the Veteran's Museum. Well, Chris went and I stayed in the MH with the dogs. After two more stops...Walmart and Best Buy...we finally headed home. The MH is a great vehicle and has proved that we can go anywhere without a car. And Chris has proven that he can get us out of anything we get into.
Branson appears to be dying. We have been here many times and it looks like they have over built. Many empty theatres and we did not see any big names.
We have two days of driving with no sightseeing. We will be at the Corn Palace on Saturday. Until then we will just go with the flow.
Peace to all our friends, Barbara
I hope you will enjoy the Corn Palace. It was on our "list" ever since my parents went when they were RVing many years ago. Sometimes the quirky locations are the most memorable. Are you headed for the Black Hills? Safe travels.
