If you've never been here, it's South Central Missouri about 30 minutes from Cave in the Rock. So, you might as well put that on there. And if you're coming out from St. Louis, um maybe Cape Gerard. You put Giant City State Park on there and you're going to come across something really cool, too. But look at these features on the right. >> Oh gosh, >> there's just so many of these like these are like open caves almost, guys. But they're just not closed. >> Yeah. Take great pictures. >> These are beautiful. >> Like toad stools. >> And believe it or not, we've come these have been giants all around us as we've been driving in here. Just amazing natural beauty. It's kind of like rimstone dams, but they're just open almost. Very, very unique. >> Very, very, very unique. The first person to discover this really been >> in awe. >> Yeah. Yeah.

And then there'll be a view up there. >> Yeah. I think I have a walk around there. Yeah. Oh, you're going to see another vantage point coming up, everybody. Um, you could see why this would have been like a good place for, you know, Indians or anybody looking out for a lookout advantage from, you know, >> Well, you can understand why it's called Garden of God. >> Yeah. because of the vantage points. >> Well, the the rocks themselves uh the rocks themselves would be >> considered sacred. >> Okay. Okay. >> And they put off I'm guarantee these rocks are putting off a lot of good energy. >> Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Good energy. Yeah. Yeah. There's a trail there, Ron. Yeah. You got it.

Don't get me wrong. >> This is way better. >> Look at all the formations out here, guys. The energy. >> Get some pictures down here. >> This is a little better vantage point right through here. This is probably the best right where I'm standing. >> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It looks like an animal out there. Like a camel almost. Camel. >> There is. They call it camel rock. >> Oh, is that what? >> Yeah, there's a camel rock somewhere. >> That's it. That's Camel Rock then. Yeah, without us even trying, guys. Let me show you Camel Rock here. >> You can just see his hump. You see the hump on his back, too? >> You'll see. That's Camel Rock, guys. >> So cool. Shiny National Forest. >> I got the families out here, guys. We got some solo hikers. >> A picture right through here. That's >> Oh, okay. Yes. That's Camel Rock, right? Yeah. You see his hump on his back right there in his head? >> Yeah. >> It's really cool. >> And look how far you can see off. You can see at least 10 miles. I'm sure 8 to 10. >> Remnants of an ancient sea are your feet wet. They would have been 320 million years ago when a shallow sea covered this area. Great rivers deposited layers of sand and mud along the seashore. As the region was slowly sinking, as these materials built up, the heat and pressure of burial turned the sand and mud into stone. Eventually, the land began to rise and the sea retreated southward, leaving the stone exposed. >> What you see today is the result of millions of years of nature's weathering forces. >> Wow. >> Imagine the change that will occur in another million years. >> Well, I won't be around to see >> magnificent. I think uh the million year mark is out the picture, out the question. Well, it does look like a >> Yeah. So cool. >> This is natural, eh? >> Wow. Natural seat there, guys. You see there's some even sediment underneath here. Dirt. Let me tell you the pedra. So this we're looking at pedra here guys. This all that is is rock in Spanish and then you see some teddra underneath and that's the dirt. Tiedra is your dirt and pedra is your rock. So if you want to learn some Spanish today, we just helped you out. So, we're going to go to the Giant City State Park after this, guys. And this I've never been there. So, Mr. Ron's been there, but Veron's never been here. So, it's kind of cool. We're trading out a little bit. So, Matt, I remember you being here, brother. We had a good time up here at this Garden of the Gods, too. as well. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. The the Yeah. Not much of a cushion, I'm sure. But uh the the the build the build is there. Like a day bed.

Okay, I'll get it. Get Oh, yeah. That's cool. Nice. Just some more of these unique features over here. Look at this. Got a graffiti be easy. So cool. Hey, thanks for being here, guys. These are bands. The dark reddish brown swirls and rings on these rocks are called lice gang fans, pronounced >> le gang. Long ago, when the sandstone was underground, it was saturated with ground water mixed with iron. Chemical changes cause the iron to solidify as rust between the rock particles. >> They look like some rimstone dams, don't they, Ron? >> The raised dark bands have resisted weathering as compared to the softer light colored rock. The patterns of the bands are the result of these chemical changes. >> Do y'all see Jesus? >> Chemical. >> No, I don't. >> You don't see him? >> I see like hair right here. Looks like hair flowing. >> This guy. >> No, I don't see it. Oh, there is an actual Jesus. >> I I just don't see it. >> Oh, God. >> He's looking at Okay. Yes, >> I see that. >> Sorry, Ron. >> This guy looks like he's maybe >> that brings some humor. >> I couldn't I couldn't make it out. >> So, you think this is how the Rimstone dams were formed, though, Ron? >> Yeah. Yeah, I think Yeah. Similar >> on a bigger a bigger scale. >> Okay. >> Yes. Yes. >> Cuz it's it's rimmed up. I mean, it's definitely >> Yeah. I think that is how they're formed. >> So, that's what we've been seeing, guys. >> Man, look. Did you get pictures up through here? >> Yeah, man. Look at this. Look at this one hanging out here on your left. Look at this thing right over here. Like, it's like a >> It's funny looking thing. But yeah, this is beautiful. >> Yeah, that was Teresa's younger brother called Alan. >> And so, yeah, >> this way. And then look at this over here. >> GE geological just phenomena here. >> He said the camel toe. >> I don't know. >> No, the camel's head. I think he said the camel. Oh, what a comedian up there. >> We still got some nice vantage points coming too, guys, on the way out. Yeah. >> You got it. But you hanging in there? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Some really nice balanced rock >> right there. Looked at one up the top. Oh, that's >> that's awesome rock. >> But look at the uh little rimstone. >> See that, man? All those formations. >> And then down there. >> Down low. >> Look like they have some of the bands. >> Yeah, the bands. The bands. >> And then right below us. >> Oh wow. There's a lot of >> Oh yeah. >> Look at that. Look at the little >> cave like situation in between. Show the try to show the depth. >> The depth of it. We just like to zero in on like these formations. >> Curves. Yeah, those curves right there. >> That's made by iron deposits. Little indentions. Well, that's what that omnibus done that. >> Yeah, you're fixing to read about it. Next stage on your left, you can read all about almost touch right over there >> and spend some time at the top of these rocks. >> Energy. >> How long you like nature, man? >> How long you like nature? All your life. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> It's awesome. So, kids get out there and come see >> Yeah. Get him off the >> the couch. Yeah. Well, the internet is a fact. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Good, >> man.

You just got to >> recognize that spark, man. And I promise you guys, if we can all get together on that spark of energy, this world would it would be the best place to live before we get to the next place. And uh for you believers out there, that new body to come, we just pray that Lord just take you away when it's time in an easy manner.
