Babler State Park

Joined with other hardy campers for a weekend in the lovely 6,000 acre Meramec State Park, near Sullivan, Missouri. We had rain and temps in the 40's but overall a lovely place. Hike the Walking Fern Trail near the entrance to Fischer's Cave and discover Indian Cave along the way. We saw several bats and lots of crickets and spiders in there. Tent kept the rain out mostly, only had to move once to empty it out! Recommend Babler when nearby Meramec River is in low flow so you can take advantage of another awesome Missouri float stream!
See you on the river!
