Alaska Journey Day 118 / by Dave Hileman

Didn’t Start Out Well Day 

The plan was to go southeast to Buffalo Scenic River (#251) and then on to Branson for a show. The roads to BSR turned out to be torturous and the trip, 45 miles, took forever. When we got to the river, there were absolutely no places for us to park and precious few to even stop with the trailer. We left with CJH shooting two photos out her window while traveling over a bumpy bridge. We were there but failed to actually see much and taxed the truck to the max. Next on to Branson. Now I qualify for the stupid award, or another one of them. We edge into town and there is a very nice building “Branson Visitor Center” and we have been using them all across the US and Canada. In we go and get “help” to find a show we would like. We are passed off to a second person who can get better discounts. I still don’t catch on. After 15 minutes we decide on a show, decent prices and we are now told all we do to get this “amazing deal” is a brief visit to this wonderful property opportunity. We said “no” absolutely and left. The sales person was kinda shocked and that made me sad we were the exception. After frustrations with getting shows and prices, reviews etc., we opted to move north and see a movie tonight. Super decision to rescue a poor day. Excellent & abundant meal at Lamberts Throwed Rolls and off to see Downton Abby. We even found some ice cream!

Someone needs to tell me where we are! I’m off to campaign and I’m not in Arkansas anymore but back in Missouri. Make up your mind. And, by the way, find some decent ice cream. I am starving my brain cells - I need a butterscotch ripple, double chocolate, icy mint triple cone. STAT. Ms McKinley would never let this happen to me. Never.
