General Information:
UPDATE: 4/11/02:
Until ownership is officially transferred,
Darkman & the Shadow
will be the caretaker of this cache. Email
Darkman & the Shadow on all matters involving this cache. We would like to thank Big Jimmy and BJ Best for setting this cache up. This is much too good a cache to just let it be archived. Many thanks to Darkman & the Shadow for stepping up and repairing this cache.
This is a five-part multi-stage cache hidden in Forest Park. This cache is a true tour de parc, intended to show you a variety of features and locations (both well-known and not) of St. Louis’s largest park. The straight-line route to all five caches is about 2.7 miles (although a bike, car, etc. can be used to get fairly close to all caches); figure on spending a few hours in the park.
The first four caches simply contain coordinates to the next cache; the fifth is a typical “treasure” cache. The coordinate caches are all rectangular, measuring 10” x 6” x 2 ½” and have white lids. The final cache is a roomy 15” x 10” x 5” and has automatic, air, a six-disc changer, leather interior, and a white lid. Please note that there are neither writing utensils nor paper in the coordinate caches, so bring these items along if you’d like them! There is a good selection of starter loot to choose from.
As Forest Park is obviously well-traveled, we ask that you carefully re-hide the caches.
Good luck and enjoy!
