Sharp's Travels
After relaxing for part of the morning we decided to take motorcycle ride out by Table Lake Dam and park. I made a wrong turn and ended up at the Shepherd of the hills Hatchery. It turned out to be a wonderful wrong turn as we got to see a 15 minute video on how the hatchery operates and then we took a walking tour to see all the different sizes of rainbow trout. It rears approximately 1.2 million rainbow and brown trout annually, and is the only faculty in Missouri that raises brown trout for distribution statewide. We walked down by the river to see several people fly fishing. Then it was time to get back on the bike and continue our ride with a stop at Table Rock Lake for pictures and then on down the road with a stop at a viewing area and right across the road was an ice cream shop. Cheri said it was time for lunch so we each had some ice cream. We continued our ride through Hollister on hwy 76 which is a very curvy road with a lot of up and down hills, the perfect road for motorcycle riding. We road through Fotsyth , Walnut Shade and many other very small towns, our ride was 62 miles and the weather was perfect. We got home around 2:30 pm. Mike and Pam picked us up at 4:15 pm and we met Bernadette, Stan, and Karen at Mel’s Hard Luck Diner. It is a place that has singing waiters and waitresses, some of them are even in shows here in Branson. Our meal was great and so was our singing waitress. Then we all went over to Mike and Pam’s place to visit awhile before we headed over to the RFD Theater to see the HayGoods. They are a group of six brothers and one sister. To learn more about the HayGoods click on this link: http://www.thehaygoods.com/ourstory.html . It was a very high energy show, we have seen it twice before and it is still an excellent show. Roy Rogers JR and the High Rides also do an afternoon show at the theater, so we got to see Dale’s horse Butter Milk and Roy’s horse Trigger along with their dog bullet. After the show it was time to say good bye to Bernadette, Stan and Karen as we won’t see them again while we are here. Mike and Pam dropped us off at home; once again it was a wonderful day in Branson. I have uploaded some pictures of our motorcycle ride we did today.
