The gentleman working was very pleasant, and so knowledgeable on the area. (The beautiful mustang photo'd was his 1967 Ford Mustang, although he said he wished it was a '66) Loved this place and got some nice souvenirs."

The town of Times Beach was evacuated in 1983 after a severe dioxin contamination that was used to spray the roads. The combination of the mixture was used in Agent Orange. Extensive cleanup took place and the Route 66 State Park opened in 1999."

Nice, peaceful walks through the land, going to and along the Meramec River and back. I wouldn’t thought there’d be signs or something commemorating Times Beach but there is nothing, like no one wants to remember it which I found sad."
