Abandoned, right next to a busy road & a hotel, super un-interesting imo.
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

The quarry is where they got the rock to build Table Rock dam. It is either owned or leased by the "Ride the Ducks" ride now cause they keep old ducks down there. I've explored down there before many many years ago, it's pretty cool! Just make sure you go after Ride the Ducks closes for the night cause they take tours up that hill, and they have a clean line of sight into that quarry (and the tour guides point them out).

Just noticed this, i don't believe i knew that was there. May be newish.

To the direct south of there is Bruce Hershcend's castle-like mansion that spans the entrance to a cave.

A certain gimp might been there with him. In the middle of a damn lightning storm. This was back when the place was still under construction, so I don't know if any of it is accessible anymore.

Only if they leave one of the gates open, or you're really good at climbing fences in totally open sight of any passerby.

The quarry/mine areas your talking about are all part of the Branson Underground Inc.

There is a post somewhere on here about it.

Just bumping this to see if anyone has any updates on the mines and quarries. I would like to do some underground exploring here, especially some mines but I don't feel like showing up to either an active mine or somewhere that doesn't exist anymore. I don't really have much time in the daytime to check stuff out or I would.

I moved away from that side of the state a few years ago, so I have no updates.

Nothing new to report on these topics, other than that the Branson Inn has been demolished.

the farm house next to the jounagan quarry. would be hard to access. if I was going to try it id go on a weekend and stick to the woods security is fairly tight but the quarry itself is pretty awesome
