The sun is setting. 

A great evening for fishing. 

Table Rock-Looking good. 

Ouch! I had to fill up the boat on Table Rock.  

Nice home!

Trip on White River and Sunsets

My apologies for being away from the blog for so long. Since my last blog I have visited India for about 10 days. I returned both exhausted and sick. I also picked up poison oak which I have been fighting for three weeks now. My daughter Princessbelle had her tonsils out and some other medical complications.

Brokerbelle and I have begun to market some of my Branson pictures. Some of the pictures I will be putting on the blog. Although the pictures are copyrighted I want some of my occasional readers to see them.

Yesterday I went on a three hour boat ride on the White River. Some of the pictures of the ride are posted above as well as a great sunset yesterday evening.

The beauty of nature is the gift of God to us. These gifts are free and are received by HarleyDad with great thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy. A few are posted above.

The cast takes a bow! 

A fun magic trick! 

Beautiful sets and a great juggler. 

You can save on the number of bicyles you need if you ride this way! 

Keep those plates twirling. 

Good acrobatics. 

The opening number. 

New Shanghai Circus

New Shanghai Circus
645 State Hwy. 165
Branson, Mo 65616
417-336-8888

If you like acrobatics, you need to see this show. The price of an adult ticket is about $29 but call for reservations and rates.

HarleyDad was in Shanghai a year or so again and saw the acrobatic troup there. All I can say is that the Branson Group is better than the Group in Shanghai. I presume they send the better acrobats here for training.

The juggling is wonderful, the magic very entertaining and the sets are beautiful.

If you want to see the best acrobats in the world, I think that this is where you need to come. The show was outstanding.

The New Shanghai Circus is at their own building. The only problem is exiting the parking lot where not enough lanes were included. A few pictures of the acrobats are shown above.

Our adventure to the Lake begins by taking a "road less travelled" as Dr. M. Scott Peck would say.

A picturesque cabin once reputedly used by the Chicago mafia. Brokerbelle says that there is no need to stop to inspect this piece of local history and yore. And so we pass on. 

More classic vehicles found everywhere. It is a veritable museum of the history of the American automobile. 

Old lovely classic vehicles adorned the scenic landscape. 

Could this result in a diminution of our potential property value? 

This is what happens to trespassers. Note the arrow ! This culd be you. 

The Adventures of Lake Front Property

Well, Brokerbelle and I were interested in property on the Taneycomo Lake Front. Our Broker Dede has some property to show us. It is really a lovely piece of property and consists of about 30 acres.

And so we turn off the road and began to proceed toward the property. Unfortunately, Dede tells us, there is only one way to get there. Pictures above show some of the scenic area we go through.

Dede tells us that many, many years ago, the Chicago mafia used to own some of the cabins we pass and would have parties there.

Down we go through the scenic country side. Finally we do come to the property and there is some nice water access.

The Guy living next door at the bottom is an Indian, a really nice guy, according to Dede and the selling property owner. We turn around on his property and I take a few shots. And then it is time to drive up the mountain again.

Above are the pictures from a trip down and up the mountain. I think I now know what living in the Ozarks can entail.

Suffice it to say, Brokerbelle and I will not be purchasing this property. I was a triffle too scenic for us. Besides, I am not sure I want my scalp on someone's wigwam. Although, believe me, that is not what caused us not to be interested in the properties.

Take a look. I did not photograph the worse part of the route.

Look at me, I am a duck! I am a boat! I float-most of the time anyway.
