Thurs. 6/16…
(Branson , MO )
This morning was fishing day! We
were told not to come down too early as there has been fog on the river which
doesn’t lift until about 9:00. So we
went at 8:00! We knew which boat so we
loaded up and waited. At about 9:00 we
went downriver to one of my favorite spots and caught fish right away. Rick
caught the first. Let me explain this
place. We are actually fishing Lake Taneycomo
which is technically the White River, which comes out of the dam at Table Rock
Lake . When they
discovered the river water was really cold they decided to stock it with trout,
both rainbow and brown. They open the dam and the river can run really
fast. But today it was not opened until
later in the day. We caught fish after
fish and it really didn’t slow down much all day. I decided that I would release all fish
(daily limit is four). Good choice as I
had four in about 10 minutes! We fished until about 2:30 and Rick caught 20 and
I managed 39. We brought the boat back
to the boat slip and cleaned up and checked out and paid. Jon boats w/25hp motor rent for $90 full
day. We will go back again on Saturday
when Bill can join us. The rv guy was a
no show. Lydia
will call him in the morning. We had dinner in. Lydia fixed corn on the cob and a
wedge salad. Janie brought strawberry
shortcake.
Fri. 6/17…… (Branson , MO ) Lydia went to town this morning to get her nails done
and I hung around waiting for the rv tech. Meanwhile Bill & Treasa made it
into camp this morning. They had their motorhome
repair work done in Albuquerque
and spent the last few days catching up.
We all have tickets to see Sara Evans in concert and they didn’t want to
miss that. Steve’s Mobil RV Service finally made it here. I was able to tell
him what we were dealing with. He
checked things out and found we have weak batteries. Also have a bad solenoid
that charges coach batteries when we drive.
He’s ordered a new one. We had a
bad connector going to the ac so that’s fixed now. Since the work is covered by my warranty
(w/$200.00 deductible) I told him to go ahead and replace the coach batteries
(those are not covered). That done we were in a time crunch to get fed and then
get to the concert. Steve said the best fast food was Steak n Shake. He was right! It was one of the best
hamburgers I have had in a long while! We will go back! After the quick dinner
we headed off to the concert. Sara Evans
is a native of Missouri
and her mom and other family members were there so she was a little nervous. But it didn’t affect her performance. It was a dynamite show.
