Similiar but the water is inside, hence, the Lost Sea. During the drought a few years back they almost did loose it, but the last 2 years the water level is back up. I visited it as a child, but have been back as an adult a couple of times.Leedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914177127665868671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795387901232045644.post-85226388416344555172010-07-28T12:19:35.223-05:002010-07-28T12:19:35.223-05:00How fun!

We used to vacation at Fairfield Bay (not far from Clinton)... I've been by Blanchard Springs Caverns--but have never been in them... Looks like I need to take George UP that way when we visit Arkansas. We love Arkansas --and I'd live there in a heartbeat---at least on Mt. Nebo!!!!! <br /><br />Thanks for the gorgeous pictures...
