Editor’s Branson Lake Taneycomo trip amidst chill and waves
The editor details a Labor Day week trip to Branson Missouri to film Lake Taneycomo and nearby Table Rock. A soggy, cool spell limited boating to Taneycomo for most of the stay. The memorable moment came when loading the boat in Branson required wading in near-freezing water and coordinating a trailer lift as the Corps of Engineers released cold water from Table Rock Dam.
