Traveling with the Munschs: Lake of the Ozarks Pictures (Days 1 and 2)

Here are some pictures from our trip to the Lake of the Ozarks and the first day there. The drive down went pretty well. Hit some real heavy wind and rain through Omaha but besides that we missed the worst of it. Luckily we decided to stop by the Battle of Lexington site which allowed us to miss a huge storm that passed through our campground. On the way to Lexington Becky's phone lead us on quite a journey down some backstreets to a dead end and told us to park on the road and walk. Now being stuck on a dead-end road with the camper in tow is not my idea of fun so I was not my best self for a few minutes. But we were able to make a u-turn at the end of the road and only drove on their grass for a few feet. Man I was mad at Becky's phone but truthfully a sign of some sort would have helped us out tremendously. Anyway the battlefield was interesting and we had a good time walking around and learning about the battle. Next stop was our campground, we we stayed at Lake of the Ozarks State Park. It was a nice park and when we pulled in we were told they were without power, which since we had a non-electric campsite wasn't a big deal. Then they informed us that meant the water pump was out so no water, Ugh. Since our campsite was pretty flat we just left the camper hooked up so it's be easy to pull out and fill in the morning. At our campsite someone was parked there when we pulled in, I went to talk to them and they were in their boat on the water when the storm hit so pulled up to shore under a tree off the site. The boat was still floating but just barely as it was full of water, they got it started and one putted away in it and the other drove off to meet him at the ramp.

The next day after we got water in the camper we decided to hit some of the sites in the area. I had a few things in mind but nothing concrete, we ended up hitting all of them in one day. The Ozark Cavern and the swinging bridges were the highlights. We got home exhausted (dead horse style), we probably should have eased into our first day.
