Rolla, MO

New member here. (Freshman @MST). While I am aware that there are multiple past forums about things to do in Rolla, many of those are 5+ years old, and several of those places no longer exist, or are under careful watch now. If anybody knows of any places that are currently explorable in or around Rolla area (half hour drive max), I'd really appreciate it, thanks.

Congrats on starting at Rolla! I just graduated from there myself. We've got a nice thread here about the town and surrounding areas, so maybe use that one. Remember to use the Search button at the top right as well.

I think we need to meet up sometime...


Look through the rolla mega thread and tell me if anything strikes you as something you'd like to do. It's pretty much all there pretty much.

Some sweet pics of the recent flooding we had down here. These are from the train bridge in Jerome (by the Trail of Tears monument (another good place to explore shit (Looking at you, thebrokanarchist)))

Regular river level (~30-35 ft to bridge deck)

I'm over in St. Robert and would be up for doing stuff in Rolla.

I'm not in Rolla, but I do like Pinball, what's your favorite?

There's so many good ones. My favorite is probably Tron by Stern Pinball. Then The Addams Family. I have a 1980 Firepower I bought from a guy in Kansas.

You? Have you been to the Silverball bar in St. Louis? That place is awesome!

Medieval Madness, LotK. I have not been there yet, but I've heard about it. Back when I worked out in Chesterfield I'd go to the mall once a week and play. I wish I owned a machine, but I haven't the funds for it.

Just don't challenge me in Space Cadet pinball and we won't have problems.

I still have the cheat codes memorized

I didn't know there was cheat codes. I was just naturally the best at it.

I'm also attending S&T and will be returning in the fall for my sophomore year. I've been lurking a while and want to meet up with some people when school starts up again to do some exploring, both urban and more outdoorsy.

Welcome to the forum! Most of us active Rolla guys went and got ourselves graduated, but we still do stuff in STL and beyond.

Yeah I'm moving out tomorrow actually. Gotta do some globe trekking. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, I've sniffed out a lot of cool areas to explore and stuff all around phelps and (mostly eastern) Pulaski counties.

Don't climb the Effel Tower, I hear they frown upon that.
