Silver Dollar City

We had a very busy day delivering mail, dropping off items at Goodwill, stopping at Allen's RV to have the freezer door looked at so decided to head on over to Silver Dollar City and relax with some homemade icecream.  They make it fresh every day!!


We caught a few songs by the Chapmans

Waved at the passengers on the train and tried to warn them about a train robbery that was sure to happen.

The big Bluegrass and BBQ festival continues until June 3 and we are able to use our RedHead Express Roadie passes so we are taking full advantage of the opportunity.

Third Generation Bluegrass was very entertaining.

This guy dipped his had in hot wax several times and ended up with a hand candle!

Loved watching the woodworking shops.

This little guy was enjoying an afternoon snack.

Love it!!

As the park closes people flock to Echo Hollow, the largest amphitheater in Missouri.

And it is big and steep.

The County Nights show was worth the climb!!

Comedy broke up the show putting everyone in that Wow kinda mood.

there was a tribute to country music!

He could really play!!

Loved the country songs.

There was a disappearing act!


The Silver Dollar City Singers did some gospel.

The show ended with a tribute to the veterans in the audience.

So if you go to Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO, remember to stay after the park closes for the Echo Hollow Show!

was all the climbing before the ankle injury? Maybe the cause?

Mary, still using the ankle. Stepped wrong off a riock I'd climbed up on to get a better shot. Just one little step down about a week ago now. Still a little puffy. But healing.

Houston Fest Galax, VA

We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose mission is to hon

Navy Buddies

Today is a good day to drive! We drove across Amarillo, TX to visit with Will's Navy buddy, Ron.  We found him in the same park we had met him in about ten years ago. These two men met fifty years ago aboard The USS Platte.  ( Platte  made almost yearly deployments to the western  Pacific Ocean  from 1960 to 1968, including extensive operations in  Vietnamese  waters and refueling the  USS  Enterprise  (CVN-65)  task group off Korea during the  Pueblo incident . Platte served with the Pacific Fleet into 1970. She was sold for scrapping on 14 May 1971.)   Ron suggested La Fiesta Grande for an early dinner, a great Mexican place.  It was fun listening to the stories all starting with, "Do you remember...." We dropped Ron back off at home and met Don, a neighbor. See you again somewhere sometime, Ron. Okay, so check out these drinks that were delivered to the next table!

Our Own Palm Tree

Image
December 15, 2007 We woke parked at the Walmart; we have a nice spot we like way off to one side where we face a little lawn and have our own palm tree. Not many people park in this area because it is farther to walk into the store; at night a few other overnighters park in the lot, but they park up with the trucks so we pretty much have this area to ourselves. From there we drove to Victor Park, a community park with tennis courts, picnic area and fields for sports. The restrooms were locked, but no biggie as we have our own facilities. Will started up the generator and worked on a letter to the Chevy Guy in New Brunswick he has been formulating in his mind ever since we left Canada. The Roadtrek just stopped one day and we had to have it towed and lucky for us it was to a Chevy repair garage. We had our fuel tank fixed and they cut the fill tube. Roadtrek had designed a specialty one they didn’t have so they just jury rigged one. Fixed they said; we paid the bill of over a thousand d
