We were up by 8:00 after a very noisey traffic night. Got away from OKC at 10:30 heading east on I-40. We stopped at the info center entering Arkansas, had lunch and picked up lots of info intending to stay at Fayetteville but decided to carry on through to Branson, Missouri. We got to Branson View RV (Passport America) at 7:15 so parked in the dark. Not a great park -hilly, tight sites, trees overhead -but fairly convient to the action. We had no idea how spread out this city is but have found it not too difficult to get around (marked coloured routes on the local maps).

Slept in until 9:00. Had a big omelette breakfast before going into town. We went to the Oakridge Boys Theatre to pick up tickets for Sawyer Brown tonight. Went to the Bass Pro to catch the downtown trolley through Old Town then walked the entire strip of the new mall along the waterfront. There is a beautiful dancing fountain in the mall which is lit up and set to music after dark. There is music playing from the bases of the light standards all through the mall. We went for a steak & shrimp dinner at Montana Mike's on the way to our evening concert. The pre-show was really good -Luke ??, an up & coming young country star. Sawyer Brown was fantastic, but really loud. They played for one & a half hours without a break and came back on for 2 more songs. Took forever getting out of the parking lot but was a fun day.

Slept in till 9:30 this morning (too many late nights for us oldsters). We managed to book our next park in Memphis for Monday. We went for the dinner show aboard the Showboat Branson Belle. The chicken/roast beef dinner was delicious and the entertainment was outstanding -The Showmen, 5 young men boy band who sang inspirational to rock and roll; Janice Martin, aerial violinist; comedian/ magician Christopher James; and live band Rockin' Dockers. It was a sunny day 75F on calm water so was a pleasant cruise.
