Well, I am back to the blog from a long period of not really having much to write about.

We were unable to get into the White River Campground due to high water and we stayed on the street in Fishers near a friends house. It was raining and we could not get the electric hooked up so we just boondocked it for the night.

Monday morning we called White River CG and got no answer and left a message to call us. We had called River Bend campground and they were open. We knew it would be wet and muddy there, but better than nothing. So off we went north to River Bend, Just as we turned into the campground we got a call from White River and they said they were open to come on up. So we turned around and headed north another 2 or three miles and found a nice campground ready for us. The river was still up to the top of the banks and the bottom ground on the east side of the river was flooded but our side was above the water level and the water was going down.

This is a County owned and supported park and you can only stay 14 days and then you have to be out for 2 days and then you can come back for another 14 days. This eliminates people from moving in and setting up all kinds of things and staying all summer.

Visitors to the park are few during the week. Maybe a dozen or so units, but by Thursday afternoon things are picking up and by Friday night things are pretty full with the tent area filling up with all kinds of tents and kids everywhere.
Most of the regular people just stay inside and watch all that is going on with the kids as well as the adults. Sometimes the adults provide the most interesting people watching as they get their rigs parked. It is obvious that they do not do this very often and some look like it is their first attempt, however you know it is not. Just the fact that some never get it figured out.

We have been busy with doctor appointments, having x-rays done, scans and CT scans. We are about done with all of that, just a couple to go. Had our eyes checked and all is well there, no new glasses needed this time.

Really getting a case of hitch itch, as we have been here over a month and that is a long time for us to sit still. It will be a while before we hit the road, maybe the gas will be down below $4.00 before we leave.

The photos that I hope are included are of Turkey Creek CG in Branson, MO. It is on the banks of Turkey Creek that joins lake Tanicomo that runs between the two big lakes.
