Outflow at Blanchard Springs Caverns

Near the town of Mountain View, Arkansas, are the Blanchard Springs Caverns, a huge underground cave that goes on and on. Fortunately the walk through the cave is all down hill, and when you get to the end of the walk, there is a surprise.

Anyway, here is a photo of the outflow from the cave, that is, the water that formed the cave pours out of the rock a little ways down the mountain. It's worth a hike to see, if you like wet broken rocks with the constant roar of gushing water.

The town of Mountain View is worth stopping by, as well, since it is a showplace of Ozarks arts and crafts, especially at the Ozark Folk Center, a village featuring a variety of old buildings and cabins staffed with tour guides giving demonstrations of old fashioned skills and lifestyles.
