Thursday June 2, 2016 Branson, MO

We had more rain during the night.  We had our coffee on the road.  We left Maumelle Park at 10 AM.  To start we went north on I-430 and then for a ways on I-40.  Much of the drive was on US-65 and then onto US-76 into Branson.

We stopped once to fill up with diesel.  We had quite a bit of rain while driving.  We traveled 168 miles, and at Treasure Lake RV Resort at about 2:30.  The park doesn't take reservations for RPI or Coast to Coast members. We were told to pick a site in a certain number range in phase 2 or any site in phase 4.  Suitable sites were scarce.  It was nearly an hour finding a site in phase 4.  It started to rain heavily while I parked.  I got the power hooked up and the slides out before I realized the site had no sewer.  We have been using the holding tanks for 4 days and will be here for six days.

After the rain stopped we moved a couple of rows over to a site that has a sewer connection.  It is a handicapped spot with a concrete parking pad.

We went into town to a restaurant that had been recommended by friends from Las Vegas who visited here a week or so ago.  At the Red Barn we had a great meal.  Gerri had fried chicken livers and I had catfish filet.  We took home about half the meals.

Nothing makes an RVer's day like something breaking.  Our electronic flush toilet started spraying a steady stream of water when flushing as opposed to filling all around the bowl from under the rim.  The park water pressure is strong enough the water splashes out.  I turned off the park water.  At least the pump pressure allows the water to stay in the bowl.

We were in bed by 10:30 and fell asleep to the sound of falling rain.
