Greetings,

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so for the time being it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. We are no longer leaving caches stay disabled for extended periods of time.

Groundspeak and the geocaching community appreciate your contributions to geocaching and I hope to see this cache back in operation soon.

If you can get it back up and running in the next week or so contact me to get it re-listed. Otherwise plan to move it slightly and set up a new cache page.

[B][green]Most problems can be solved with good communication so reply back to the reviewer and we will do everything possible within the guidelines to get your cache published. It is best to give me as much information as possible instead of saying nothing at all. This will speed up the process and we can get your cache published. [/green][/b]

Geocache Description:


Redone and updated 6/29/08. Redone 7/14/08. It seems the replacement cache wandered off, but met a worker I knew and she returned the original cache to me, so it's now hidden at the new coordinates. Maybe this one will stay put.

The listed coordinates are for the parking area.

The Capaha Park Rose Garden is located at the northwest corner of Capaha Park near Perryville Rd. Cape Girardeau was once known as the City of Roses and roses stretched for over a mile between the cities of Cape Girardeau and Jackson. A remnant of bygone days, the Rose Garden is maintained by several local garden clubs and is part of the city parks system. Permission was granted by Dan Muser, director of the Cape Girardeau Parks and Recreation Department for placement of this cache.

There is a small parking lot adjacent to the Rose Garden and the terrain is flat, though grassy and could be handicapped accessible. The final cache is a small lock-n-lock box.

New log book and box placed on May 16, 2009.

You will need to search for information throughout the Rose Garden to calculate the final coordinates for the cache at:

18.AB6
32.CDE

Queen Elizabeth Roses
Find the year that appears on the placard for the Queen Elizabeth Roses. Subtract the first digit from the second digit of the date for the value of A. Count the number of letters in the first two words on the sign and divide by 2 for the value of B.

Find the year that appears on the placard for the Olympiad Roses. Multiply the last two digits for the values of C & D.

Cinco de Mayo Roses
