August 26, 2011... We decided to take a different route east rather than travel the interstate as we left Kansas and so we chose to go to a National Park and camp at Big Springs. This is a marvel of nature. It is a natural spring that comes up from the ground, BUT! it comes up at the rate of 280 million gallons a day!!
BIG Spring! It also comes up in the most beautiful color as you will see from the photos.

It is a
Karst topography. Here is a diagram that they had on display there...

We spent a beautiful night there at a quiet end of the campground. We swam in the Current River at Sunset and then ate a wonderful meal together listening to the crickets and watching the stars come out!
