More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

So I assume this is the cave? I see they have an "Ancient Ozark Natural History Museum." I'm guessing that's where Morris wanted to relocate the Riverbluff Cave artifacts to. They are better off where they were found:

IDK, the obvious entrances to caves on the property are way south of the golf course.

Very interesting features at the google earth gps coordinates below. This looks like it might be a cave entrance of some sort. Fascinated by what appears to be a covered bridge or walkway going directly into the cliff. Also, the drop off appears to be over 200 feet down into this small canyon.
