The trip to Branson Missouri was very eventful. After leaving Tennessee and heading into Arkansas we found lots of flooding. The more we traveled the more flooding we saw. The worst was about 30 minutes outside of Branson.
Another event which was not fun was our GPS system. We call her Bullier. Well, she decided she was wanted to go the scenic route instead of the interstates. So she took us through country roads where we saw lots of farms and really nice rural America. That part was great and I said to Leigh " gee this is cool no traffic and what great scenery. Well, the great scenery became scary as we went into the Ozark mountains. Imagine a 35 foot RV towing a car and motorcycle, so that is about 56 feet. Imagine that rig going up and down mountains with high grades and no guard rails and you look out and see big drop offs. This is a country road very narrow. And there was no pull off so we had a few trucks behind us with no place for them to pass. Well, that was what most of the trip was like. I was gripping the seat I was so scared and poor Leigh's neck was so tense as he was keeping us on the road. A 6 hour trip turned into 9 hours.
Morale of the story is, check map against GPS and use your own judgement as to the best way to go.
One thing was for sure
