In Branson - on way from Kenwood to Clarinda

59º here in Branson, MO at 12 Noon Friday with freezing weather expected from 1 am to 9 am (down to 27º) tomorrow morning -- hoping can keep things un-frozen in the trailer.

Haven't written since we left our home in La Feria, TX last Sunday as have had rotten phone and either bad or no WIFI at the cheap parks we have been staying in.  Just moved to this park (Ozark Country Campground) this morning and have not only 4 bars of phone, fast internet and cable TV -- what's not to want?
We left our Kenwood house just before 7 am Sunday morning and arrived in the Waco Airport Campground sometime after 5 pm.  Lots of boring, straight-line, no curves, on Highway 77 for many many miles.  That changed when we got near Waco, and Wednesday really changed when we got into northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri.  Not 10 feet of road that wasn't either turning, or going up or down.

Packed and ready to roll

Once again, pickup is full.

Flower pots at the house

Pretty now, wonder what summer will bring.

Coming up 77 - saw lots of motor homes and trailers
heading north

Paid $2.40 for gas in Harlingen, $2.20 in Refugio, TX; $2.46 in Rosebud, TX; $2.30 in Fort Worth; $2.31 in Hugo, OK; $2.23 in Fort Smith, Arkansas; and $2.34 in Shell Knob, MO.  Drove 411 miles Sunday Kenwood to Waco; 297 miles Tuesday Waco to Arlington then Fort Worth then Sawyer, OK; and 328 miles Wednesday from Sawyer, OK to Bentonville, MO and then Hollister, MO.

At the Customs and Border Inspection place

At Refugio got gas for $2.199 cash.  Their
charge price was $2.599 - though other stations
in the town were at $2.399 for either.

In Schulenburg, Texas this was Sunday afternoon,
was a really good buffet.

Was Oakridge Smokehouse and Rudy was our waiter.

Unusual setup at Waco Airport Campground - my cord
was too short for the lid to close-kept unplugging the plug in.
By holding the door up and fastening bunge cord it worked!

Our setup for 2 nights at Waco

Monday we went down to Magnolia Market and Garden

Lots and lots of people there.

Everything was high priced, it seems, but people were buying
stuff right and left.  Guess the demand was there so prices were high.

Is almost noon and we must leave trailer to find a place to eat and then go to the Sampson show mid-afternoon.

More later, Lynn
