Today we really had no plans. It is too hot to do very much outside so getting whatever that is done early is essential. After that it will be stores and/or restaurants to stay cool.

One of the things the DUCK driver suggested to do was tour the fish hatchery at the foot of the dam. He mentioned that they had a wall-length aquarium and I wanted to see that – did not get a photo though. I guess I got excited by the size of the brown and rainbow trout they had in that tank. Bigger than any trout I have ever seen before.

On our way into town we had been passing a ‘craft mall’ where various little businesses show their wares – jewelry, signs, fudge, nuts – and one of the booths had a pair of brothers who played guitar and sang for tips. They were real nice guys – not good musicians, but nice guys. I included a photo of them – the only musicians we heard in Branson – not really our kind of music place.

Most of the day we hung around and did administrative chores like emails and bills – rested and ready to go see Dan and Teri in Dexter, MO. some fellow GMCers.
