What exactly is a Duck Fart? This picture was taken at the Conoco next to the Branson Lakes Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center.

It might have something to do with the duck boat rides that tour Branson.

You say you want me to illuminate, while at the same time HOF neighbor keeps shooting my illumination out. I'm getting mixed signals!!!

Duck Farts, Old Farts, any kind you want we got em!

From the looks of the picture, that is the tourist trap located at one of the exits just north of Branson on 65.

My guess would be similar to the other, that it is a treat sold at that location, named after the amphibious vehicles that go by the same name.

There's been a lot of going-by-the-same name going around.

I would guess it is a treat mostly sold to tourists who do not know any better than to get stuck in traffic on 76, those who may have heard of the Red, Green, and Yellow routes, but just don't know how to get to them.

I wish we could be with you for the next three days. EP/RMNP is one of our favorite places.

Incidentally, most people know that Ducks are military troop carriers first used in WWII, but they don't know the origin of the name. Actually they were DUCWs, a military nomenclature. Although its designation as a DUKW may seem to be a military pun, the D indicates a vehicle designed in 1942, the U meant "utility (amphibious)", the K indicated all-wheel drive and the W indicated two powered rear axles.

I'm sure my dad saw plenty of Ducks, as he was a medic assaulting beaches in the South Pacific.

Jim,

Come on up. It's only 900 miles. We have an extra room. We only need 2 and we have a 3 bedroom unit.

We are now in Colorado on I-70 about 10 miles before we will be going up the hill.

Yeah I saw that reference, but at a gas station rest stop?!?!?

I guess it could be a candy with that flavor or maybe a non-alcoholic drink.

JLB,

What are the liquor laws in MO? Can you buy beer/wine/liquor at supermarkets and convenience stores?

Sure, if Scotty will beam us there.

When we moved to the lake and the trip went from 680 miles to 900, and the show we did in Longmont went downhill, that was the end of Estes Park and RMNP for us.

The last two years two other couples went with us and we got them in at The Golden Eagle. We really had a lot of fun.

The last year, was 2002, I believe, and it was not much fun. My Dad was ill and having the problems with his broker having stolen money from him. I had been in Des Moines with him, but went home to Kansas City to move us to the lake. From there we went directly to Castle Rock and did a show. I remember calling our bank to make sure the money got deposited from the closing of our KC house.

From Castle Rock we went to EP and the Longmont show. My dad turned worse, so we went from Longmont to somewhere in Nebraska late Sunday night, then on to Des Moines on Monday. There wasn't anything we could do for Dad, so we went on to our new house at the lake.

I believe I got the call Tuesday morning that dad had died, so we headed back to Des Moines.

Why heck yes. Don't get us confused with Arkansas.

Nothing mixes better than alchohol and driving!

In Arkansas when you are about to enter a dry county you see signs like Last Booze for 50 miles.

Meth is not available through retail outlets yet.
