A First-Timer s Trip to Dollywood

Iâve always envied those Theme Park Insiders who not only seem to have been to every theme and amusement park in the world, but who can talk intelligently about them and every ride they have ever ridden in technical detail. Iâve been fortunate to visit quite a few, maybe more than most, but Iâve reached the age where Iâve realized that there are still so many parks within a reasonable drive that Iâve decided I need to get to them and experience them first-hand. In April, I finally got to one of those parks that everyone kept telling me, âYou have to go there! Youâll love it!â

SPARTA, Mo. (AP) Strong storms swept across parts of Missouri on Wednesday, flooding a popular state park and causing wind damage.
Live camera footage showed raging waters at Roaring River, a popular fishing destination 8 miles (12.87 kilometers) south of Cassville in Barry County, the Springfield News-Leader reports.
“This is a major, major flood today,” said Paul Spurgeon, Roaring River Hatchery manager. “We got about 3 inches in 40 minutes.”
The main concern is the hatchery building, which rests on the lowest area and is full of fingerlings, or baby trout.
“We’re trying to keep those guys going right now,” Spurgeon said.
