A large ammo can that involves a bit of a hike - to one of the best views over the Big Piney River. 
This cache is dedicated to Jess, a little friend of the CO who died not long before the cache was placed in 2003.

A View for Jess

Involves more than 1.5 miles of 3.5-star hiking in the 486-acre Clifty Creek Conservation Area/Natural Area in Maries county. The trail is very scenic and has been significantly improved since the cache was published in 2008. 
All you have to do for the Earthcache is somehow measure or estimate the height, width, and depth of the natural arch, and send an email.

Clifty Arch 

One of the biggest ammo cans you'll ever see! 
And one of the most favorited caches in Missouri!

Jolly Green Giant

A great view of the Big Piney river valley and Fort Leonard Wood training areas. 
A way to avoid the physically challenging climb from Stone Mill Spring is to park near the Stone Mill Spring entrance road off J highway to the east and walk through the woods - roughly a mile, round trip.  

Overlook Cache

One of the largest containers ever!  
Filled with swag, trackables, etc. - never seen anything like it!

Privy

One of the largest sinkholes in Missouri. 
Earthcache involves measuring depth of sinkhole using GPSr altimeter (or Google Earth readings) and recording and describing water (if any) in the smaller sinkhole that drains Slaughter Sink.
