Going back over the last few days, I have several things I did, but mostly have to tell you about my lust for finding the best ribs in Branson!!!! As I said in my other post, the Famous Dave's ribs were excellent but then decided to try some that were recommended by the tour books. One is Danna's on Hwy 165 - went there for lunch and although the books and reviews say they were great, I was disappointed. It is just a small cafe and order your food at the counter. The ribs were to well done for me and a little tough. Critch and I then decided to try the steak and rib house on Hwy 165 right across the street from our resort. It is called Odees. They sell ribs for $11.99 all you can eat. Very interesting as the spare ribs were $14.99 and these were the baby back ribs. I decided to go for the baby backs and they were fabulous, very tender, great flavor and you can have as much as you can eat. Our waitress was determined that the spare ribs were better so she kept bringing me one of those and they were very fatty and in my opinion not as good. Maybe we are just more used to baby back ribs in California.
On Friday night I decided to go see "Country Tonight" and really enjoyed the show. I had been wanting to see some country music and this was a wonderful evening of all kinds of country music.
More on food: We went to two other restaurants that we thought were great, One was the "Lone Star" which is located on the Yellow Route right behind the Andy Williams theatre. Critch and I had the best steaks - honestly felt they were as good as our Costco filet's. I would give that a 5* for flavor and excellent service. Another great spot is the "Pasta House" which is also on the yellow route about a block away. I had an artichoke which was stuffed with Italian stuffing and it was wonderful. We weren't to hungry so had that and a salad and was a great dinner. Critch had pasta and said it was also excellent.
On Friday, I decided to take a ride to silver Dollar City to see what that was all about. When I saw 60,000 cars and trolley's taking people from the parking lots, I changed my mind. It is also over $50.00 to get in and all I knew is they have rides so I didn't go in. I drove down past Indian Point and it is a beautiful area along the lake. 
There are lots of condo's and motels along there and a very growing area. I had lunch at this little floating cafe - not like Coeur d'Alene!! The lake right now is 14 ft above normal level. They have had so much rain here this year and we are sure feeling it. I have never been anywhere where it rains 4-5 inches in a day. In the 3 weeks we have been here there have been anywhere from 7-8 severe thunder and rain storms.
