There was a themed ride as described in the SDC book The littlest Mule about a wagon wheel on its side with seats on it pulled in a circle by a mule. I believe I remember I ride like that from when I was extremely young (like somewhere between 3 and 6 years old). Maybe the imagination of a little kid. Does anyone else remember that?

Junior has told a story or two about that old ride! Here is the link to that thread, as well as my postcard of the "thrill" ride of the 1880's.

Nice addition rube!

That dam has stood almost as an icon of sorts of Table Rock Lake, and Branson in general. Could you imagine how many millions of gallons of water has flowed past this dam? It's a very inspiring man made object.

I guess the caption should have read... "DAM!"

I took the kids to the SOTH hatchery over the summer. Every time anyone mentioned the word "dam" the response was "watch your mouth". Great memories with my teenage sons.

So.... in that vein

Rube, "Watch yer mouth"""  ;D

Hard to believe that bluff across from the dam is now covered in trees and scrubby vegetation. That is the site of the little parking area to view the dam. Thanks for the shot, Rube.

-over 500 family photos of SDC spanning from 1982-1998 (Thanks Dad!)
The winter should be a good time to fire up the wayback machine and experience some history of SDC!
