Ha-Ha Tonka Ruins

These are the ruins of a 1900's castle on Lake of the Ozarks. The guy that built it was killed in 1906 before it was complete. He was one of the first auto fatalities in Kansas city.

The castle was eventually finished, but it later burned down and is now part of the state park.

The castle sits on top of a bluff that overlooks a spring that feeds into the lake. I can't imagine how cool it must have been before the lake filled in. Fortunately, the spring is still above lake level.
