| | Meramec River Story |
 | | It is interesting to note that the Dry Fork, which is about the same size as the Meramec in that area, loses most of its volume underground to become a major contributor to Maramec Spring, and in a round-about way - a major contributor to the Upper Meramec. |
 | | Then, from the right, the translucent waters of the second and largest of the headwater contributors, the Courtois--(pronounced code-away)--Huzzah creek, mingles with the Meramec, giving it the impression of a truly big river. |
 | | As the darker waters flow on, the valley widens, and the river becomes a series of long, slow, wide pools, connected by short, fast, riffles. |
