Going Out to Shut In

Today Madalene and I are going hiking up at Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park, which is apparently a very nice place. It was formed when erosion wore deep tracks in volcanic rock, creating an ‘enclosed’ area of swimming, hiking and fun. We’ve never been there, but we have gotten several strong recommendations from reliable sources, so we decided to go check it out for a day.

    seriously one of the funnest places in the st. louis area….ive been diving there a few times….just watch out for the small areas of stagnet water….they scare me….but enjoy and be careful….

    I went last summer. It was great fun. I just wish that I had worn shoes or sandals that I felt comfortable swimming in. Being barefoot hurt.
