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 cache is located along Governor Bates Trail in Faust Park. The
trail is listed as 1.1 miles long and has two trailheads. The cache
is located approximately halfway. You can make this a two mile hike
if you wish. You are looking for a sandwich sized Lock N Lock
container that is a short distance from the trail. It is fairly
easy to get to the cache but a big climb back to your car when you
are done!
| 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.
