A close-up view |
Since we had a pulpit, chairs and a congregation, we decided to have church! |
|
|
|
|
|
A nice day for "church" on the mountain |
You could even "renew your vows" or look for arrowheads, whichever! |

Some like to eat their lunch on the edge |

What a great place to bring folks and enjoy more of the Ozarks. Where were you? |
