Our first long term stay was Branson Lakeside RV Park where we learned about Workamping and now, 5 years later we are here again, only this time just for a short visit and only reminiscing about the days of working. Lots has changed in town and the RV park has made some very nice updates, although the things that we loved are still the same! The park is still in the perfect spot, right on the river with a great outdoor mall area within 1/2 mile, walking distance and the shows are still here and lots of fun, and the folks working in the park are so friendly.
So far we have been to three shows; Mickey Gilley, SIX and Shoji Tabuchi. All great shows. I think my favorite is still SIX. Six brothers making music with just thier voices and a microphone! I spend most of the show trying to figure out where/who the different noises are coming from. If shows are not your thing, Branson now has Ziplines – more than one, lots of amazing golf courses, beautiful lakes with all the watersports and right in the RV park is some excellent Trout fishing.
Branson Landing Fountains
Watching the fountains spout water to music was a favorite when were here before and so far I’ve watched it four different times! I think it is becoming a favorite of this trip too.
I don’t know why, but last time we were here we watched the train everyday and never rode it! This time we did.
Crossing a curved Trestle!
The Branson Train only travels about 40 miles crossing into Arkansas and reversing its course in the middle of nowhere. It was a really nice two hour ride where we saw lots of trees just making their journey into winter – two more weeks and these hillsides will be very colorful.
Paul, enjoying the ride
Today is Paul’s birthday so we are going to bust the calorie counter for dinner. Lamberts Cafe, the only home of the throwed rolls! I hope to get some great photos.
