Staglatites hang from the roof of the mouth of a cave, one of many
in Mark Twain Forest.
A natural spring is found several miles into the forest.
The mouth of the spring is the start of a river...
...which has a natural beauty that makes the view impressive even
before the return of the April leaves.
A beaver dams up a part of the river to make her home. In a
couple of weeks she and her mate will have a family to raise.
A natural bridge is the last site on our tour, and from the
we look out at the rustic beauty of mid-February Missouri.
