We arrived yesterday afternoon at the Stagecoach RV Park just outside of Branson. What a beautiful drive through Arkansas. I often hear about people retiring to Arkansas because of the low cost of living but still wondered why anyone would want to live in Arkansas. Never been there but had it in my mind that it was a dreary place to live. Wrong. At least north of Little Rock, AR is beautiful. Branson is just a few miles north of the AR border and is also beautiful - in the hills with water all around it. Many of the performers live here in Branson year-round and I would bet they have beautiful big homes on the hills with water views. This morning we took a trip to Eureka Springs, AR - about 40-50 miles SW from our park. It was a place we were told we had to see and we weren't disappointed. The town has an old historic district with homes (small and large) built on hills with narrow roads winding around the district. Also lots of touristy little unique looking stores. Reminds me of Jerome and Bisbee Arizona.
I made reservations to see a couple of shows while we are here - Bobby Vinton who performs with the Glenn Miller Orchestra and the other show is Tony Orlando who performs with the Lennon Sisters (don't know what happened to Dawn). So many choices it is difficult to choose.
The photo here is one I was able to get from the motor home as we traveled north from Little Rock, Arkansas to Branson, Missouri. I'll take photos of Branson area this week.
