Alley Spring and Mill in Eminence Missouri part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways
Adam, Jena, Amie and I went to Alley Mill and Spring. I’ve been here 3 times now and it’s still amazing to see and it’s a National Park we had to share with Adam and Jena since they had not seen it. We stayed at Echo Bluff and also saw Current River State Park.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE SPRING AND MILL:
“The rolling, forested landscape around Alley Spring is where two of America's most beautiful spring-fed rivers combine to make up the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.
As the first national park area to protect a wild river system, visitors are able to enjoy various water activities as well as hiking, horseback riding and wildlife viewing.”
Heading south on Highway 19, turn right (west) on Highway 106 at Eminence. After crossing the Jacks Fork River, turn right at the Alley Spring and Mill sign.
The spring empties an average of 81 million gallons a day into the upper Jacks Fork. A short trails leads around the spring, along bluff walls decorated with hanging gardens of wildflowers and ferns.
The barn-red mill was built in 1894 and is now a museum operated by the park service. The three-story mill is open daily.
Park Ranger Leanna Bryson had a bit of news. “The mill is going to be on the U.S. quarter in 2017,” she said. “They picked 55 national parks for the coins; Yellowstone was the first. They say we’re the most photographed mill in the United States.”
An image of historic Alley Mill near the Jacks Fork River will soon be imprinted on the back of U.S. quarter coins.
I certainly hope it brings more awareness to what we have with Ozark National Scenic Riverways, said park spokeswoman Dena Matteson. Local folks certainly know what we have here, but others may not know about the hidden jewel we have here in the Ozarks.
The story of Alley is a tale of nature, people, and a century-old mill sitting at the heart of a beautiful Ozark scene. Whether this is an annual trip you've made since your childhood, or your first visit, take time to soak up the splendid scenery and get acquainted with Alley's lively past.
Cold clear waters rise from deep within Alley Spring at an average daily flow of 81 million gallons. The spring basin is funnel-shaped with a depth of 32 feet.
Alley Mill is just one of over 100 historic structures found within Ozark National Scenic Riverways.

United States Quarter: 2017- Ozark National Scenic Riverways
Here are some important dates and events for Missouri’s Ozark Riverways quarter:
a U.S. Mint coin forum on the evening prior to the quarter’s official release, held at 6:00 p.m. CT on June 4, 2017 at Echo Bluff State Park (Nixon Room, 34489 Echo Bluff Drive, Eminence, MO 65466);
its release into general circulation on June 5, 2017;
its availability in U.S. Mint-branded rolls and bags at usmint.gov, also on June 5, 2017; and
its official launch ceremony by the U.S. Mint and the National Park Service at Alley Spring and Mill (State Route 106, Eminence, MO 65466) on June 5, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. CT.
Coin forums offer the public a chance to talk to U.S. Mint officials about current and upcoming products. Quarter ceremonies and coin forums are open to the public and free.
Coin Exchanges and Getting New Quarters
Coin exchanges are also offered immediately after launch ceremonies. They offer an opportunity to swap cash for $10 rolls of the newly released quarter. Security Bank of the Ozarks will sponsor the exchange for new Ozark Riverways quarters.
It is usually difficult to find new park quarters, sometimes taking months to years for them to appear regularly in change. Easier methods of getting them include coin exchanges and buying them straight from the U.S. Mint (usmint.gov) when they are released.
Designs on Ozark National Scenic Riverways Quarter
Nine reverse candidates for the quarter were developed by the U.S. Mint in consultation with representatives of Ozark National Scenic Riverways. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury selected the final design after the Commission of Fine Arts and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee reviewed the candidates and offered their recommendations.
Created by Renata Gordon and sculpted by Ron Sanders, the selected design depicts Alley Mill, a steel roller mill built in 1894 to convert wheat into flour. The mill is a popular tourist destination with much of the original equipment still in place. Surrounding the design are inscriptions reading OZARK RIVERWAYS, MISSOURI, 2017, and E PLURIBUS UNUM.
All quarter obverses (heads) share a common portrait of George Washington as created by John Flanagan.
Both obverse and reverse designs are also on a series of U.S. Mint bullion and collector 3-inch diameter, 5-ounce silver coins.

Round Spring Cave near Eminence, Missouri at Ozark National Scenic Riverways
Round Spring Cave near Eminence, Missouri within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Round Spring Cave is the first cave I've ever been in and the experience was awesome. Please support my efforts by sharing this video with others.
Directions to Round Spring Cave near Eminence, Missouri:
Round Spring Cave Q & A:
1. How rugged in this trail? This trail consists of less than a mile of out and back hiking completely within a cave. Hikers are guided by official rangers of the National Park Service. Some surfaces are slippery and areas require people bend down through narrow passageways in order to continue. Light sources are with the use of battery-operated lanterns.
2. How long is this trail and is it a loop? Learn more about the trails on the National Park Service website for Round Spring Cave at:
3. Are there signs or blazes along this trail? No.
4. Any suggestions? Wear shoes or boots. Sandles or flipflops with no back straps are not allowed to be worn. If you want to look up or around while in the cave, come to a complete stop. Stay with the group. Arrive early to register as no more than 15 people can go on a cave tour and tours a very limited each day. Don't use flash on any critters in the cave. The cave temperature is usually around 57 degrees so consider a hoodie or something like that.

Alley Spring | Ozark National Scenic Riverways | RV LIfe
The Ozark National Scenic Riverways is a GORGEOUS area of Missouri! We were lucky enough to visit Alley Spring Campground and the surrounding areas.
This is a camping trip we've been super excited to take as many of our friends raved about the area. We were down in the area, near Eminence, MO a few weeks earlier when we stayed at the phenomenal Echo Bluff State Park.
We got to do some hiking at the Alley Spring Mill, fishing around the area and playing the exceptional Jack's Fork river! This is also the trip that Malcolm officially became an official Junior Ranger! He was so stinking proud and excited!!

We are Katie and Scott, travelers, adventurers, seeking a life of full time RV living with our youngest kid and our crazy dog. Right now we're still at the planning stages, getting ready for fulltime RV life while our older kids finish up school and get settled on their own.

So in many ways we get to do everything all over again, this time with the benefit of being older and wiser. We plan to home school the little one as we go on the road full time for a few years, then find a place to settle down and call home.
We're still trying to figure out what we're doing with this whole camping and RV life thing and you all get to join us as we learn how to organize our space and downsize all our junk. We're trying to embrace this minimalist lifestyle as well as learn how to use as these great camping and RV products that are out there.
