BRANSON, MO

We left West Memphis, AR at the ungodly hour of 0600.  Actually it worked out pretty good since we got into Branson by 1300 and had plenty of time to set everything up for the next 11 nights we will be here.

After talking to a few travelers in the campground last night we decided to switch our route and stay on I-40 to Little Rock then turn north and pick up 65.  The majority of roads were better than I expected.  What was ironic is this route took us right by the road to Nancy's former Conway house and Pickles Gap Baptist Church.  The girls will know about this.  No opportunity to stop as we were on a dedicated mission to get to Branson and were traveling with two other RV units.

Ray took the lead around Little Rock.  Nancy snapped this picture just as we crossed the Missouri state line.

I-40 coming out of Little Rock has been totally rebuilt.  Beautiful highway and scenery.

Nice sites at Stage Coach RV Park in Branson.  Pads are concrete and there are enough trees to provide some shade without getting in the way of awnings or satellite dish antennas.

The week ahead will be filled with a lot of group activities that include shows, eating, shopping and swapping stories around the campfire.  Our Cedar Creek RV Owner's Club rally's are always fun!
