More Branson PIctures - Pictures for Today

 

Terry is getting into the spirit of the passenger experience of riding the "Duck" at Branson. We were told to blow on the quackers when we saw another duck and when the driver's jokes were way too corny. Lynden told Terry that he was told he was quacking too much on the occasion he took some kids with him on the duck. Terry and Lynden are a lot alike when you give them something like this. It is just too tempting to overdo it.

I took a picture of this restaurant because it has a big chicken in front of it. I thought that was special.

This is one of many miniature golf places in Branson

 

 

 This is the mountain after the rocs were quarried from it for the Table Rock Dam.

 

 

This is what the 'duck' looks like. It is an amphibious vehicle that was used in World War II to move troops and supplies across places without bridges and be able to truck across to the place they were needed. The driver said the wheels keep spinning even when it is in the water. I think this was a highlight of our time in Branson.

 

 

This is the view of Table Rock Lake from the top of the quarry in the Duck.

 

 

We drove into the woods in the duck.

 

We are on the water. These are some of the passengers looking at the riverboat located on the lake.

 

They allowed all passengers who wanted to get behind the wheel on the lake. Terry did it after a little urging from me. Even a little 4 year old took a turn.

 

See that satisfied grin he has while steering the duck.

 

The riverboat also travels on the water and has a show going on. We wanted to enjoy the water this time instead of watching a show on the water. We went to the Pierce Arrow Show that evening.

More views from the duck on the water.

 

 

 

We are in the duck on Table Rock Lake. It was a beautiful, peaceful day.

 

 

We both rode the Vigilante zip line located close to the Shepherd of the Hills sight. Terry is escorting a  96 year old lady who rode the zip line at the same time we did. There were lines that they send off at the same time. It  starts at the top of a very tall tower and the line stretches across the tops of trees half a mile long. The seats were comfortable and you didn't have to have straps around your legs. We were secured in and it was a fun ride. Terry rode it a second time because the second ride was discounted. lol. He loves zip lines.

I have a movie of my ride, but it didn't want to download on this. I will see what I can do.

 

After the zip line, we went to see the Titanic museum. It was very sad but interesting The we ate with Lynden and Starley at their condo and the went to see the Chinese Acrobats. That was some show and worth seeing.

The next pictures will be of a natural bridge in Clinton, Arkansas.
