Very relaxing bring a lawn chair if you can't walk to just sit and relax . IT IS A GREAT PLACE TO TAKE IN GODS SPECTACULAR CREATION AND know you are loved by him.

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! A little tricky to find (Joplin DOT, could you add a sign, here and there, for out-of-towners?) but once you find them, WOW! A few families were dotted about, and it was great to see people of all ages enjoying this splendid scenic marvel. Go! Go! Get out of the car, get out of the house, and go!

There's not going to be mushrooms available. The Rock and the little bit of soil on top , is not good for mushrooms. The area around it gets washed in. And most cattle Farmers own guns.
