Big Spring National Scenic Riverway in Missouri was a side trip we almost didn't make. When we pulled into the park we decided to eat lunch at the lodge.
We learned the park had cabins for rent and decided to spend two nights.
The next morning we got up early and explored the fresh water spring, one of the largest in the US. 286 million gallons of water *A DAY* flows from the limestone rocks!
We followed a path and climbed limestone steps and rocks through the thick forest.
A pretty Red Admiral butterfly kept landing on my big toe.
Looking down from a bridge into the crystal clear water . . .
.. . and a view into the woods from the same bridge.
The second morning when we had to pack up to leave, a storm rolled in. Thunder and lightening and then heavy rain soaked the forest around our screened in porch.
