1	1	Our last day at Eminence, MO.  We wanted to continue visiting interesting places we were told about by other people who have visited or live in the area.

	3	+On our way out of town, we had to stop by the local Dairy Shack and photograph their sign:

3	3	First up on our list was [[Rocky Falls>>https://www.nps.gov/ozar/learn/nature/rocky-falls.htm]].  Google Maps was leading us down a dirt road, but we didn't think anything of that because it seems as though all of the sites are almost always down dirt roads!  We followed it, driving through a creek a few times!  We could see it was shallow and the water wasn't moving very fast, so we went through with no problems.

8	8	Surprisingly, this delivered us to the top of Rocky Falls!  Looking down, we could see the parking lot and the sand bars and people at the bottom.  Obviously, that's where the landmark **should** have been placed!

76	76	Those people we met along the dirt road in the middle of nowhere?  They're the ones who told we that we should visit the [[Welch Spring Hospital Ruins>>https://www.nps.gov/places/welch-spring-and-hospital.htm]] site.  After a 1/2 mile hike along the river (the Current River, of course), we arrived at the site, but the water from the spring produces such a large and strong stream that there was no clear way to get across to the old hospital building itself.  It seemed strange, because we coulld clearly see signs on the other side!

96	96	By the time we left Welch Spring, it was sunset and time to head back "home" to our patient and loving kitties (well, loving anyway).  On the way back, we passed by a small ferryway which crosses the Current River.  It wasn't running, but there was a sign giving prices and times of operation.
