Damn... I was talking to one of my buddies about one somewhere in that area just yesterday... apparently there's a cave undersome weird cliff with a flat rock on top called "devil's Tea Table", located on Devil's Tea Table road somewhere near Protem. Supposed to be interesting, but I've never been there.

Mwahaha the Devil's Tea table, its right across from my Grandfathers farm. It is a column of rock suspended high up beside this cliff, with a rock landbridge leading out to it. The top of the column has a raised flat area hence the "Teatable". Kind of a cool landform, definatly worth seeing if youre in the area. I could give anyone detailed directions if wanted. Its a short ways from Falcon Missouri on Hwy 32.

I actually got my senior photos taken on top of it :lol:.

there's a little cave over near Caney picnic area. Look around and you'll find it. Very small.
Just down over the hill from a sign that says something on it like cave?
Caving impaired,,,too old, too fat, don't care.
