May 4, 2026 – Day 2 to Ontario

Nice start of the day at 62 degrees. Pretty cool pic with the clouds.

We tried to stay off the highways as much as possible.

We ended up on some pretty nice riding roads.

At times however, the GPS had a mind of its own. Ron ended up winning

on this by resetting some of the options.

This road with no lines was a bit bouncy for awhile.

One of the ones the GPS sent us on.

Cross into Missouri on an interesting structured bridge.

As soon as we crossed the bridge, Larry and Ron kept talking about "The Dexter Inn".

This is where they stay for hunting.  They say you need a tetanus shot to stay here.  HAHA

We stopped for lunch at River House BBQ. We try to ask the locals of places to see.

The waitress directed us to Big Spring in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways where

that water is blue.

The water is "boiling" or "bubbling" up from underground.

Hope you can read this. Very interesting .

This is another fun fact.

We decide to stop in Branson MO for the night. Again, had some great back roads.

This was across the street from our hotel.

I cannot imagine the architects that created this.

(If you cannot tell, it is upside down)

Went to a show... Family run and many of them performing or back stage.

We just looked at the weather for tomorrow. UGH... looks like rain.
