Missouri has some of the best state parks in the US. The
state park system has many right here in the St. Louis area. There is a lot of
history that can be found about the parks. It is a system that offers something
for someone. It allows us the priviledge of Geocaching and that says a lot. Our
picnic will be MAY 21st from Noon until Whenever. We will have several event
caches and there are permanent caches located throughout the park. Which Park??
