Geocache Description:

ALERT 5-27-01 SORRY BUT IT APPEARS THIS CACHE HAS BEEN STOLEN BY SOME COWBOY-THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST!!! Cache is hidden under a rock ledge about 200 ft south of the historic Santa Fe Trail. Start from the begining of a footpath at 38 55.375 94 34.552 (path enters woods near a dead tree).

Placed in cooperation with 3-Trails West Inc., Kansas City Missouri Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund, Santa Fe Trail Association (www.santafetrail.org) and City of Independence Parks and Recreation. You will cross several wide wagon swales running NE-SW if approaching this cache from the north (look for the granite DAR marker).

Initial contents include fossils, mineral specimens (pyrite from South America, galena [lead ore mineral] from #25 Mine near Viburnam, Missouri), historic brochures, a few kids toys etc. Careful not to disturb several trail era artifacts that I found nearby while hiding the cache!
