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:

Nathan Boone Homestead State Historic Site

NOTE: PLEASE DO THIS CACHE ONLY DURING THE NORMAL HOURS OF OPERATION. MON-SAT, 10 AM TO 4PM, AND SUNDAY NOON TO 4 PM.

Early Missourians knew Nathan Boone as a hunter, soldier, surveyor and entrepreneur. They also knew him as his father's son. Boone, youngest child of the famous Daniel Boone, carried his family's legacy deep into the Missouri Ozarks and the American West.
Boone's list of accomplishments includes many ventures. He owned a salt-making business with his brother known as the Boone's Lick, helped lay out some of Missouri's first roadways, served as a member of the first constitutional convention in Missouri and established himself as a capable military leader in both war and peacetime.
Boone's last home, a simple but comfortable log house, invites exploration into the life of this second-generation frontiersman. Boone's three sons and two of his slaves built the house in 1837. It was the hub of a 720-acre Ozark farm. He, his wife, Olive, and other family members are buried near the house.
Another cemetery, just a short distance from Boone's grave, contains the graves of at least 16 men, women and children kept as slaves on the farm.
Guided tours of the home and cemeteries are available on a regular basis. A walking trail and small picnic area are also available.

This cache is placed close to the parking area, and should be a really quick park and grab. It is a small Tupperware container with room for small trade items.

FTF prize is a small FTF coin for you to keep. It is not trackable.

Please use stealth and REMEMBER DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS CACHE EXCEPT DURING NORMAL HOURS OF OPERATION, which are Monday thru Sat, 10 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday, 12 PM to 4 PM. Also note that from Oct thru Feb, they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Permission to place this cache was obtained from David Roggensees, Natural Resources Manager, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, and the proper paperwork has been filed.

Additional Hints (No hints available.)
