Branson Belle Showboat Dinner Cruise

Thursday was easy going.  We visited some shops in the area.  I forgot my camera so there are no pictures.

Early afternoon, Lee Helstrom arranged for a shuttle to come pick us up at the park.  12 couples rode the shuttle.  It was fun!

The people on the bus go up and down, up and down, all through the land......remember that?

The driver took us over to Table Rock Dam and Fish Hatchery....he says he has only seen the water rise about 4 times.
