Walt and Beryl checked in with the following information from their first week of travel.
-------------------------
October
10, 2013 - We attended a FMCA Fingerlakers Chapter rally in Hammondsport, New
York. While there we went to the Glen
Curtis Museum. Very interesting. Got
gasoline at Tops for $3.299 with our 40 cent discount.
October
13th - Drove to Erie, Pennsylvania, and stopped for the night. Ate
dinner and got gasoline at Sams Club for $3.24.9 a gallon.
October
14th - Drove to Marysville, Ohio, Where we stopped for lunch and at
Walmart for gasoline. $3.149 a gallon. Every time we stop the price goes down a little. Hope this trend continues. It’s a far cry from the $3.65 we paid at
home. So far our trip has been uneventful.
October
15th - Beryl and I stopped at the Onondaga Cave State Park in
Leasburg, Missouri, to visit Mike and Vi Downie who are camp ground hosts in
the park. We first met Mike and Vi when
they were volunteers at Padre Island National Seashore while we were hosting
there. (When we leave this year they
will replace us as camp hosts.)
Onondaga
Cave State Park is a nice little park about 8 miles off I-44. The cave was closed for the season. We saw lots of deer. Two kept hanging around our campsite.
The
deer are very small compared to the ones around Avon. Also, saw a flock of turkeys wandering around the park.
Went
to dinner at the “Missouri Hick Bar-B-Q
restaurant. Second best ribs you’ll
find anywhere. First best are at
Michael Bobs in Naples, Florida.
October
17th - Headed for Branson, Missouri and on the way stopped in
Marshfield, Missouri, and at Walmart we got our first gasoline under $3.00 at
Walmart. I hope the price keeps going
down.
Arrived
in Branson where we stayed at the Pea Patch RV Park. The park is right in the center of all the Branson Show activity
and they except Passport, Escapees and Golden Age Passport all at half
price. Last year when we stayed there
we had some trouble getting into a site and vowed never to go back. Since it’s in the middle of the
entertainment district we decided to check and see if things had improved. It turned out things were much better.
In
two days we saw four great shows. The
Acrobats of China show was outstanding. It’s unbelievable what those kids can
do.
The
Neal McCoy show was excellent as was the Barry Williams show. Williams was on the “Partridge Family” TV
show.
We
went to see the “Ron and Kay Rivoli Revue” now called “A Heapin’ Spoonful”. We
met Ron and Kay in Gillette, Wyoming and became instant friends. Ron is from Gates, NY. They do a great show and after the show we
had a chance to visit.
We
book all our shows with Michelle at “All Access Branson”. She does a great job helping to pick out
shows to see and gets great seats. We
highly recommend her.
