Mike likes to hike. I have decided to add a few more hiking caches
to the area. These caches are designed for you to get away from the
car and enjoy a nice hike in one of our many beautiful parks. The
point of these caches is the journey to the cache, not the cache
itself. They aren't meant to be hard to find but they give you that
extra reward while on the trail.
This is a nice hike on the eastern edge of Greensfelder Park. You
start up high and then come down to a creek bed. The cache is
hidden about 100 feet from the Buelah Trail at about the halfway
point of the trail. You are looking for a 34 oz. Lock & Lock
container. It is slightly uphill from the trail at this point. This
is not a bad stop to find a seat and rest. After finding the cache
you will have a bit of a climb back up the hill. The loop is around
2 miles long.

NOTICE: Please be respectful of the posted park hours. If you enter
the park after hours you are trespassing. If you are stopped you
can be ticketed or arrested and will put the future of geocaching
in the parks in
jeopardy. |
Special permission to hide caches in St. Louis County parks is NOT
needed as long as the Groundspeak rules are followed. "Blanket
Permission" has been worked out in advance with the park service.
DO NOT CALL THE PARK as they cannot handle the calls. The
Groundspeak cache reviewer does need to know exactly how and where
the caches are hidden and what type of containers are used. The
geocaching liaisons will notify the park service of new caches.
Remember NO AMMO BOXES or PVC PIPE
caches.
