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.

Nice walk on a damp day. No muggles anywhere. Fun to know this was a first.

WOW! How cool is this, love the low number, we've been geocaching just about a year now and this one was really cool, the age, the location, the reference to the original site for searching caches, a little history lesson for the boys. Thanks for putting it out there and maintaining it all these years.

This location is exactly why I'm getting excited about Geocaching...it led me to a great place in the middle of the city. I enjoyed watching the ducks play in the creek as much as I enjoyed finding the cache. This was only my third attempt at finding a cache and I think I'm hooked.

Wife and I are on the way to TX for a little vacation and were stopping for the night near hear. Had to get MO's oldest while we were so close so took a little walk tonight. Quick find, cache in great shape. Quite dark so we didn't have a chance to look around any at the mill site.. TFTC--SL
