well, the USGS actually has a bedrock overlay for Google Earth, so it helps a lot in finding stone along roadcuts.  On 65 where Main street crosses over is a road cut, not sure if there is stone there but at least it's a lead.

Souvenir shop in Branson. Had a lot of Fenton slag glass out front, made some beautiful blades.

No, sorry. It's been years. Seems like going out south side of town though.
