No response from cache owner.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed, and it is time to have it listed once again it will be no problem as long as it still meets the guidelines. Just drop me a note( by email at Mongo@geocachingadmin.com) and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and I am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
Mongo

Geocache Description:

Brookside Park is a nice little park near my home. It is home to The Memorial to Veterans of All Wars. This is a tribute to all who have served our country, from this area, by putting on a uniform in war or peacetime, at home or abroad.

This Memorial is located on top of a 3-acre knoll. An easy paved walk goes up to an open chapel with 11 sentinel columns facing a 120 foot black granite wall displaying over 2400 names of veterans of all 10 of the United States' official wars;
The Revolutionary War,
The War of 1812,
The Mexican War,
The Civil War,
The Spanish-American War,
WWI,
WWII,
The Korean War,
The Vietnam War, and
Desert Storm.

Also named are active duty service members.

Nearby is a 35 foot dial featuring 3 huge granite stones engraved in color encompassing our American Flag, the Prisoner's of War Flag, and the Missouri Flag.

Once at the wall you will have to find some info from the wall.

WP1 to WP2: 37 A.BC 89 D.EF
Find Guy E. Richter and count from top of his panel. What number is his name on this panel? This is A.
Find Vern Owens. His middle initial is where in the alphabet? This is B.
Find Michael W. Glueck. What number from the bottom is he? This is C.
Go to Vietnam War panel number 2. How many names on this panel? Subtract 7. This is D.
Find Loy R. Moore. What number is he in the M's for his war? This is E.
How long was the Mexican War? This is F.

This will take you to another part of the park where you will find something with white and red reflectors on it.
How many red reflectors are on this? Use this number to lead you to the actual cache.

WP2 to WP3-37 23.A 89 39.B
A=(90 x number of red reflectors) +1
B=(107 x number of red reflectors) +4

Hope you enjoy this park and the walk.

This is not a film canister but is small. Bring a pen.
