Missouri's First Geocache
site.
Today at lunch(6-20-2000), I read about GPS Stash Hunting on the
sci.geo.satellite-nav USENET newsgroup and found Mike Teague's home
page. Check it out and then click on Missouri listed under "Active
Stashes".
http://www.triax.com/yngwie/gps.html I could not find any
Geocache sites to go hunt this evening so I went out in the rain
and made my own. I expect it to be the first in Kansas City(turns
out to be the first in Missouri). I found a nice location along
side the Watts Mill walking/bicycle trail in South Kansas City.
As of March 2002 the trail is now completed from a little east
of here, to about 35 miles in the south end of Olathe, KS. I have
walked the entire trail. It's paved all the way. It's great for
walking, jogging, biking or roller blading.
The shortest distance from the trail is not the best route.
Please check for muggles along the creek before you go after the
cache. The muggles have stolen the cache twice so far. Please
rehide as well as you found it or better.
A wheelchair can get fairly close.

Found at night. Cache is well kept. Pretty view of the moonlit creek in the rock outcropping near the cache.

Found this one this during lunch with only a bit of sleet in the air. Nice hide! I took TB Lost Moose and will move it along soon. Thanks!

I really enjoyed watching the water flow and following the river on the way to this cache. We ran into PGOGO while we were looking for the cache and we had a nice chat. TFTC.
