Having Fun in Branson

We are settling in with the new 5th wheel... the living is comfortable...



The drive down from Ozark is only about 30 miles, lots of hills. It was the first time the truck felt like it really had to work. At the campground, it only took about 3 hours and 247 maneuvers to get it backed into the site. Yeah, I'm kidding... more like 2 hours and 45 minutes and 238 manueuvers. Once in the site, we took our time getting set up; we understand the RV part, it's just the 5th wheel thing that's new to us.

Once set up, Joan went to work rearranging all the things I arranged the past few days..



I have to admit, she does a much better job of packing and making things fit. And Molly the cat is getting comfortable with her new rolling home, too. Here she is checking out the basement compartment...







Branson has been interesting. We're not big country music fans, but we did get tickets for a show at the American Bandstand Theatre with Paul Revere and the Raiders and Bill Medley (of the Righteous Brothers). Not sure what I expected, but the concert was outstanding... Paul Revere and the Raiders (not sure if any of the Raiders besides Paul are originals) were tight and entertaining. They played a lot of their hits and sounded great. And Bill Medley put on a great show... when he sang "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling," it gave me chills. During one blues song, he showed the CD it was on, then handed it to Joan (we were sitting in the front row). Turned out to be a very fun evening.

We've been riding our bikes, eating good, and enjoying our time here.

Oh, and some views inside, showing that everything has been put away...
