Mushroom Rock State Park

Sunday, May 8th - - I passed Mushroom Rock State Park on my way to Kanopolis yesterday and decided to stop on my way out to the main highway.


The park is small, only about five acres, and contains some unusual rock formations, accessed by short trails. This brochure, published by Kansas State Parks describes the formations in detail.


The main attractions of the park.




Erosion will one day weaken the base and the upper rock will come tumbling down.


Graffiti engraved on the lower, softer portion covers the entire base of the rock.


This formation is on the other side of the gravel road that runs through the park.

Great slice of life travel posts like this one are why I read your blog even though I don't live in Whitley County any longer, nor even in Indiana, and your Brubakers don't seem to be connected to mine and I've only been to Hill Lake that is a named after my pioneer ancestors on one occasion but I do love driving through the county when I return to Indiana... :-)

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.

I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com

This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
