This cache has been archived.

Texas Dreamweaver: Unfortunately with the severe flooding of the Brazos River, this cache has floated down to the Gulf of Mexico. When it dries out I will place another in this park but until then...thanks for caching.

Geocache Description:

Welcome to Hilmar G. Moore Nature Preserve!

This area is so new that it is not even finished yet. But it is open to the public from dawn to dusk. There are only hiking trails and a few park benchs to sit and watch the flora and fauna.


The preserve is located on the high bank of the Brazos River and is mostly undeveloped. The intent is to just leave nature alone…nature being defined as:

Poisonous Snakes, Wild Hogs, Possums, Raccoons, Skunks, Armadillos, Coyotes, Deer, Rabbits, Poison Ivy, Bees, Spiders And Wasps.

I also ran across a Fire Ant Metropolis so keep your eyes open.

The preserve is named for Hilmar G. Moore, the mayor of Richmond for over 55 years. The mayor traces his ancestral roots back to the original 300 colonists who came with Stephan F. Austin to settle Texas. The Moores have been raising cattle on the lands surrounding the Brazos for over 100 years.

Signs warn you about leaving the trail at your own risk and I want to re-emphasize that warning. This park is wild and undeveloped and care should be take at all times. You are looking for an ammo can filled with trade items. CONGRATULATIONS TO GRANGERFAM ON First-To-Find.
