Treasure Lake RV Resort - Branson Missouri

I have relocated a 3 1/2 hour road trip through the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, to Treasure Lake RV Park overlooking Branson Missouri. Plan to spend 21 days here going to shows and sightseeing.

All pictures were taken of the RV Park. People that talk to say there's about a dozen deer. The park has 544 RV spaces on about 300 acres. There are a lot of paved walking paths all through the park’s wooded areas. One of the better parks, I have been in the last four years. Almost forgot an indoor swimming pool heated to 78°. Temperature today 83° low tonight forecasted 64°

Civil War battlefield of Shiloh 1862

 Civil War battlefield of Shiloh 1862 where there were 23,746 dead, wounded or missing in 3 days. The greatest loss of life for Americans all wars combined to April 1862.
 On the way there we drove the Natchez Trace (the pioneer trail from Nashville Tennessee to Natchez Mississippi) we passed through three states Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi it is a National Park Way you see no towns they try to make it like the old days, but a paved road.

 Shiloh Battlefield is in Tennessee

They still have cotton in Alabama

Amish Produce Auction Lawrenceburg TN

Went to an Amish Produce Auction in Lawrenceburg Tennessee 15 miles from Alabama State line. Where a lot of fruit stands, restaurants and small grocery stores buy their produce it was very interesting. I was able to buy 8 yellow squash, 5 green bell peppers and 9 tomatoes for $4.00  The Amish do not allow photographs, but I was able to take this one of a sign.

 

 

While  posting my blog a severe thunderstorm passed through our area giving us 6/10 of an inch of rain in less than 1/2 hour . A picture of the neighbor’s rain gauge. Still raining could get more a lot more lightning.
