Carthage, Missouri and The Big Red Barn RV Site

We usually only drive about 200 miles a day.  Which means we went part way to Branson, MO. and then had a stop for a few nights.  We also like to stay at least two nights.  By the time we settle in we feel like we need to rest for a day.  This retirement is tough.  Carthage is an old city, with many beautiful interesting homes and buildings.  Some were beautifully restored, others could use a lot of work and money but still had the structure that allowed you to image what they used to look like.  This is Carthage's City Hall which gives you an example of the unusual and beautiful architecture.

                                                                                                                                                                                                    We stayed at the Big Red Barn RV Park. 
 It was well maintained, had flowers and a park like setting.  We would stay there again.

  1. My dad is from Carthage and we get back there every decade or so to see the dozens of relatives that he left behind. My favorite places in that beautiful town are the City Hall and the Sonic. Some addictions are hard to quit. ;-)
    It's great to see the two of you enjoying your retirement so much. Although, it is quite likely that you will need to take a vacation to recover from retiring. =D
