Top of the Rock
If you are like us, you love Top of the Rock. It is run by Big Cedar. At the Top was a wonderful restaurant which is being restored after a fire. In addition there is a "Par Three" Jack Nicholson golf course. Also in the course of being built is a wonderful driving range.
The area has been blocked off for some period while construction is going on. When you approach the Top of the Rock, you are met with "Road Closed" signs and "Keep Out" Warnings.
Veiled promises of being open soon are found on the Big Cedar Website.
We are great fans of Big Cedar and Top of the Rock. We encourage you to consult their website at the following:http://www.big-cedar.com/dining/top-of-the-rock/
http://www.big-cedar.com/golf/
Well finally we got tired of waiting and decided we would take a look for ourselves. Above are pictures.
The Everything Branson Blog is the first to show you what is going on.
Enjoy. Visit Big Cedar you will love it. And when Top of the Rock is open. Go and Enjoy.
We can hardly wait! In fact, we didn't even wait but went and looked anyway!

Airport Construction
This picture of Airport constructionis taken from Highway JJ and shows
the airport property from the East side.
Branson Creek Property to North
Just to the North of the Airport isBranson Creek. The small building
seen in the picture is the Murder
Rock Club House. This picture was
taken immediately after I took the picture
of the airport construction below
by simply rotating my camera to the
left (north).
Again this picture is taken from
an off road on the Highway 65 side.
Branson Airport
Well, construction has finally begun on Branson Airport. No we do not mean the Springfield-Branson Airport, which is located in Springfield Missouri. We mean the Branson Regional Airport or the Branson Airport. This airport is a private airport.
The plans have been underway for some time. The old blog relating to the airport can be found at http://www.bransonair.net/about.htm. Amusingly it projects completion in 2005. Oops, look like their projections were aggressive. Hurry to see the old blog before someone realizes it is still up and before they get around to removing it from the internet.
The old blog shows the location of the airport if you could read the map which is hard to do.
The airport is the nation's only private airport. The airport, I believe, is associated with Glen Patch who is the owner of the Dick Clark Theatre and the '57 Automobile Museum. He is also one of the key principals behind Branson Creek.
The new webpage for the Branson Airport is bound at http://bransonair.net/
Brokerbelle and I went hunting for the airport and it was not particularly easy to fine. It is continguous to the Branson Creek property.
We finally located the airport.
Above I have posted photographs seeing it from the East on little roads off of Highway 65.
But here is how you can really see it.
Head south on Highway 65. Go into Arkansas (yes, Arkansas). Turn East on Highway 14 and go to old Springfield Road. Turn north on Old Springfield Road. It turns into JJ. On your left (west side) will be the airport. After seeing the airport continue on JJ to J. At J Highway turn back West and you can work your way back to Downtown Branson and Branson Landing.
Above I have also posted pictures of the work being done on the Airport as seen from Highway J.
The new blog on the airport says that they are willing to sell the airport name. Pay enough and you can have the airport named after yourself. Now that is what I call good old fashioned American capitalism.
Happy Hunting!
