How about some baseball Posted by Picasa

Branson RecPlex

The only secret better kept than the location of the Branson High School is the location of the Branson RecPlex. This is the state-of-the-art recreation complex built for the pleasure of the citizens of Branson.

It contains work out facilities, a swimming pool, and plenty of green areas for sports. Nice, yes, I would say that it is very nice.

Again I can't tell you where it is; but I was able to spot it on the website of the Branson Chamber of Commerce. Cleverly they did not give an address or a location. However with a little detective work, Brokerbelle and I were able to find it.

After all, we wouldn't want the common people to find the place.

At any rate, it is a super facility. Above are some pictures. If you are a tourist, please do not look at them.

If you are a local, then consider finding it to be a treasure hunt. But, hey, the treasure is worth it!

New Branson High School

Brokerbelle and I went on a search for the new Branson High School.

How hard can it be? All the High-Schoolers find it. Right. So off we go. In Branson, things that relate to Branson natives are well hidden lest the tourists find it. So parks are hidden away as are the schools. Life is private for those who service the Tourist industry. Tourists, stay away.

Well, we found the High School. Now we can't tell you where it is or we might have to kill you, as they say. But we can show you pictures . I hope you enjoy it.

By the way, "Go Pirates!"

Pea Ridge, Arkansas

If you are in Branson, head for Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Then from Eureka Springs head south on U.S. 62 to Pea Ridge. You will go right past the Pea Ridge National Military Park.

The Battle of Pea Ridge was fought in Pea Ridge, Arkansas in March 1862 and saved Missouri for the Union.

First drop by the Visitors Center, talk to the Rangers, see the Video, buy the books and then take the 7 Mile circuit around the battlefield. Try to take this little trip on a pretty day.

A visit to the Military Park can be a fun outting. You can stop in Eureka Springs for a lunch and then get to Pea Ridge and return in a day.

Above are some pictures. Call ahead and the rangers might set out some deer on the drive for your viewing pleasure.
