Most people feel Kansas is flat, not so. You too can see the might glorious falls of this area. It's like the Niagara Falls in NY just a bit smaller. I would recommend you wear your boots (no barrel required). To get to the cache parking is at N 38 55.993 W 94 41.694. When leaves are on the trees it can be quite private however when leaves are gone be wary of muggles for they can see you. Follow the paved trail (East of parking) no bush whacking(yet). As you get closer to the falls you will hear the roaring rushing of water. You should be able to step off the trail and walk directly to the mighty falls. What a sight to behold! Now you need those boots to cross the falls and get to the coordinates.

When at the coordinates, sit on the rock ledge with legs dangling over. Take a deep breath and relax...

View to the North (over your shoulder) you will hear and see what is called our future...progress.

Look to the West with the evening sun setting and you will see the gold amber waves.

View of the South will show you what once was...when the Native man ruled this country side (slice of heaven).

View Eastward not far from where you sit (5 paces) and you will seek what the Conquistador left so many years ago...or in this age and time the Cache!
