SET YOUR RADIO TO CHANNEL 8 WHILE YOU ARE IN BRANSON.

Paraphrased from my post in the CAA#6 thread . . .

Several of us are heading to Branson MO for a day or two prior to the start of CAA#6 in Eureka Springs. Cindy and I are planning to arrive in Branson on 04/12 sometime between noonish and 4:00 PM. We will be staying at the Lodge at the Falls motel . . . use this link that Gary provided to try and get a room there.

I suggest that whoever will be in Branson on the 12th (regardless of where you are staying), lets plan to meet up in the lobby of Lodge at the Falls at 6:00 PM on the 12th. We'll go out to dinner somewhere together at a nearby restaurant and we can make additional plans from that point. EDIT: I did some research on Trip Adviser and based upon the predominantly great reviews, Danna's BBQ and Burger Shop (only .4 miles from Lodge at the Falls) might be a good choice . . . If others agree, we can make this our official choice for our dinner meeting on Friday night so that others who might not be able to make the 6:00 pm gathering at the motel lobby can just meet up with us at this restaurant . . .

EDIT 05/30 . . . This is now our official "have dinner get to gether" restaurant . . . 6:30 PM Friday night 06/12 in Branson . . . Please join us if you are able!
