This park is in a valley of the rugged Boston Mountains. It is 2,500 acres with lodging, camping, and many trails to hike and caves to explore. State geologists say the Devil's Den crevice area is the largest in the United States. As the hillside slid, adjoining layers of sandstone separated. Surface layers stopped, while those below continued to slide. Often this lower portion cracked vertically, creating crevice caves.
The hike took 1 1/2 hours to complete. We saw many ferns and flowers growing and many waterfalls and crossed several creeks.
Here is Judy standing next to one of the cave entrances.
Some of the going was rough since it rained during the night and the rocks were slick in spots. Our walking sticks really came in handy.
The waterfalls were a refreshing break.
That evening we drove into the little town of Westfork, 17 miles north. What a treat - another camper told us that at 7 pm there was the "Little O' Oprey, a 3 hour show with a band and local Oprey Stars performing Gospel, Bluegrass, 50's Rock n' Roll in addition to Country. 
The entertainment was thoroughly enjoyable, all for $7/person. By showtime the theatre was packed.
Watch this video of our favorite performer. This nine year old fiddler was teriffic. He had such poise and would bow to the audience after each selection. If he sticks to it, he may be a rising star some day. It was truly a fun evening.
