Spanish explorers in search of riches and the fountain of youth made the journey into the cave and returned empty-handed.

That's what they claimed. The fact that they returned last week isn't suspicious at all, oh heck no...

Southern Missouri is lousy with caves.

I’ve been there several times. Branson is a typical tourist town with plenty of entertainment and restaurants. Silver Dollar City (locals call it steal-yer-dollar-city) can be worth seeing one time if it’s your cup of tea. The cave is spectacular. On a hot summer day, it is the only place livable in SDC, which is located in a windless valley with high temperatures. But the cave is pretty cool and enjoyable.

I have been to Meramec and Onondaga, but not to Marvel, and had forgotten about it. If I get down that way again, I might just pay a visit.

There are caves in Kansas used for storage that semis can drive into for unloading.

It is. Went there with my family last year. We liked it so much we are going back this year.

Branson, overall, is a great vacation. Very family friendly, lots to see and do. We packed in a week of museums, sites, and amusement parks during the day and dinner shows or shows every evening with 2 hotel rooms (one for my husband and I, one for our sons) and the entire trip cost less than $4K. A steal.

My family loves exploring caves. The best, by far, is Carlsbad. Cumberland Caverns in Tennessee is pretty memorable. Natural Bridge Cavern in San Antonio and Hidden Lake Cavern in Kentucky are also worth checking out.
