These are some pics from Big Springs, Missouri. one of the biggest natural springs in the USA. totally gorgeous. worth the trip if you are in the area. We were intrigued by the possibilities of it being the "Waters of Mormon". whether that is true or not, i do not know, but it was beautiful, none the less. And, being only 1 - 1 1/2 hours from my parents house, worth the little side trip to Van Buren, Mo. where it is located by. Unfortunately, none of the tourist shops were open, so no postcards, or tshirts or anything. Due to the eco-habitat, or whatever the jargin is, we could not go into the water--oh ya, fragile eco system or something like that. I am sure that if people were allowed in, it would be trashed, and not beautiful, and clear, but we wanted to go in so bad......

Looking up towards the spring from the bridge. see that big tree on the bank on the left?? totally cool tree, and huge!
Marin and Piper got in a little bit. I figured they could not throw them in jail...if they tried they would probably give them back pretty fast.
the really cool big tree, blue sky, beautiful day.
The waters coming out of the ground. aparentley it pumps out on average 465 cu ft/s of water. its coming out pretty fast! and is only 58 degrees. not warm, either.
