We left San Angelo at 8:30 am after coffee with Margo & Buddy at T&C. Margo is going with us. We had dinner with Dan, Stef, & Parker, at Chili’s in McKinney. Dan & Stef picked up the ticket, THANK YOU.
We spent the nite at a Wild Life Management area north of Stringtown OK. It was free & there was almost no one there. It was across from a prison & next to a RR; Wilma says it was pristine and quiet until the trains came by, it was also free. Did I mention that it was free? That helps buy diesel. The first day was 422 miles, too many.
Second day we made 300 miles, also too many, but it gave us two days in Branson, that was good. So far we have averaged 10.1 MPG. We have been doing a pretty steady 65 to 70 for the most part.
We are at Turkey Creek CG (Hollister MO) which is 2 miles outside of Branson MO. We have FH & it is a nice park. The cost is $15.00 per day with the third one free, & you know free is good, as I am cheap.
We arrived here Sunday PM a day early; made it in two long days instead of three as planned. Sunday we went to the Branson’s Landing & had a good time, saw the water & fire that is timed with the music, it is free & should be seen. Monday we rode the Ducks that was interesting but would not do it again. Monday we also went to see Jim Stafford, he was great, would do that again. Today we are doing washing, cleaning, updating the Blog etc. We will leave early in the morning on Wed and pick up Wilma & Margo's sister, Priscilla, Thur AM in St Louis MO. So we will do some getting ready today & rest-up. I have been told we will do some shopping in Old Branson, at Branson’s Landing.
Remember if life was a book and you did not travel you would only read one page.
