We spent almost two weeks in Branson. We took in a number of shows as well as visited places in the surrounding area. During our time, we rented a pontoon boat and tried a little fishing. Needless to say we did not have any success but had a good time cruising in Lake Taneycomo.
We drove to Springfield one day to see the Fantastic Caverns. The cavern was discovered in 1862 and was not explored until 1867. The Springfield Women’s Athletic Club of the time explored the cavern and carved their names into the rock. Back in the early 1900s, the cavern was used for Ku Klux Klan meetings as well as a Speakeasy during prohibition. Today, you take a tram ride through the cavern. The tram rides along a path left behind by an ancient underground river.
Rented a golf cart and took a few mile ride through the scenery at Arnold Palmer’s Top of the Rock Resort.
We attended a number of shows. During the 60s show, Jeff was brought on stage to dance to the Batman song! The rest of the pictures below are what you could record as most did not let you take pictures or record the shows.
Below are some pictures of our leisurely ride on Lake Taneycomo. No luck fishing but we picked up a passenger for a bit.
Next up Tulsa, OK.
