MAY 20 - Start of Summer Trip

This summer, we have signed up for two Sower projects - one in central Missouri and one in Northern Maine, with a month in between for sight seeing.  We'll see where that takes us.

First off, we plan to stay in several corps of engineers parks to get to Missouri.  In the first park, we were interested in the way these people carried their canoe in the truck that pulled a fifth wheel trailer.

This was at Lake of the Pines campground, a good start to our travels,  Note the truck and camper are clean and polished - soon to change with travel.

May 21 - Lake Ouachita Brady Mountain

   A busy place.

May 22 - Hot Springs

Got ot Hot Springs, and decided to go to the visitor center, to see the old artifacts from when this was THE place to take hot baths.

This is the building.

Beautiful interior places:

Outside:

Lake where we were spending the night.

May 20, cont - Hot Springs Flower Garden

  Wow - some flowers!

May 23-24 - Buffalo River, AR

  Nice place, but too cold to swim...

May 25 - Table Top Lake, MO

Nice place to spend the day.  Another corps of Engineers park, this one near Branson, close enough you can see the Branson paddle wheeler form the campground.

May 26 - Pomme de Terre, MO

Our next campground, last one before coming to Osage Beach where the Sower project was.
