Where are we today ?
More sunshine and the weather not too bad here. Actually kinda loving it! This morning we have a plan to go check out the Mermac Caverns in Stanton Missouri about a one hour drive from here via some beautiful back country roads.
So at 9 am we hit the road with our friends Rob and Pat, a fun drive along some very interesting back country paved roads.
here we are |
Pat and Rob |
hey thats Suzie and ME! |
like my hat? Suzie said no! |
Jesse James hideout was supposed to be here |
Lots of caves and hiding spaces and the underground rivers all through the caverns too.
we are here too |
to the wine cave |
half way there |
this be the wine cave |
Such a wonderful light show with the music. Below as the last 15 seconds on the song (God Bless America by Kate Smith, with the American flag displayed on the stalactites in the cave, was really amazing.
Pat took a nice video of the light show and sent it to me if you can view the video below it is only 15 seconds long. Thanks to Pat for the video.
Left here and headed back home just after noon. Relax for a bit and putter about. We decided a nice early social hour starting at 3 pm and cook up a mess of chicken wings, homemade fries, (Pat cut up) and some celery and carrot sticks with dips.
Their Fry Daddy and ours, along with our Weber Q, we can relax, chat, enjoy the sunshine and eventually have a nice tasty feast of chicken wings.

That was sure one heck of a tour George! Good job.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was a lot of fun.
DeleteLooks like you really worked up a appetite after all that walking. Great pictures. Be Safe and Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's about time.
About 1-1/2 miles of walking was perfect for the tour.
DeleteLooks like a perfect day. The cavern is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCome on, Suzie. George looks great in that Chile pepper hat.
It was a fun day.
DeleteShe says I have enough hats already.
I would have enjoyed checking that cavern out too. Sunny days always are nice than cloudy days.
ReplyDeleteWe have not toured a Cavern for few years and it was fun.
DeleteNice trip to the caverns. Have you been at the Carlsbad Caverns in NM? They are awesome too and HUGE.
ReplyDeleteYes we have been there really amazing too.
DeleteAnother great day with friends, adventure, and yummy food! You guys sure know how to enjoy life!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the tour.....thanks for sharing!
We have to do these things while we can, thanks for coming along.
DeleteAs you know we love caves so we will have to try and see this one some day. Thanks for the tour.

Caves are fun to explore, and so many to see, thanks for coming along.
DeleteThank you, George, for the wonderful pics and guided tour of a LIVING WET CAVERN !!! I thought you looked very HOT in the chile pepper chapeau !! Were those 60 wet steps SLICK ?? Was there any of the JESSE JAMES GOLD laying around ?? Supper sure did look scrumdidilyicous !!! We certainly enjoyed the day and sorry we missed the 'wings' ... Hope the rest of the week is filled with HAPPY DAYS !!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Butterbean, the steps were we but had lines cut in them so not slippery. No gold other than souvenirs in the gift shop.
DeleteBy the way everyday is HAPPY!
Thanks for the tour and great photos, George. It also reminded me of Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. We enjoyed Carlsbad too a few years ago, much larger and the caverns are all quite different.
DeleteI must say George, that was a right nice tour. Thanks for the photos....great by the way. I'm think'n Suzie was dead on right...that chili hat flat out sucks.
ReplyDeleteThat's another good reason to have her along, stops me from doing too many silly things.
