TEA TABLE ROCK 3/19/11

You park anywhere you can...just stay out of the highway!

We head down the road...

View into Limestone Valley

1/2 mile down the road to the bluffs

....and finally we arrive

We have gone as far as we were going on top, so now back.

If it had rained, this whole bluff line would be a "pouroff"

The first thing we see downunder is a large grotto

   

....and a few nice attached pedestals
