geojosh64: Turtle Rock Ridge Cache will no longer be available. I will be seeking a new location for the container within the park. I enjoy the area and would like to share this park with other cachers! This park still has some secrets in its many acres, watch out for updates!

Geocache Description:

Turtle Rock Ridge

This cache location offers a good climb, but not a great challenge in the winter. The summer could prove a bit more difficult when the underbrush and critters start crawling a bit more. I would keep an eye out for the odd snake and of course ticks, poison ivy, and good footing.

Robertsville State Park offers a number of opportunities for fun and exploration.

This one will be fine for the big kids, but keep the little ones on the trail. While there is only one trail in the park, the boat ramp, camping, playground, and pavilion make a great spot to spend a warm clear day. Be careful in wet weather, the area can get quite muddy. The cache location is pretty far from running water, but you’ll have to cross small streams and the trail goes through some low lands.
Bring water! It's not a long hike, but it's a steep grade.
First to find this cache will have their pick from a suction-cup compass, a blinking Missouri solar keychain, a travel pack of Gorilla Tape (great for cache repair), and a hand-made necklace. I will be dropping off at least one geocoin this month, and it’s big enough to be a decent Travel Bug hotel. Container is waterproof.

Try to leave it just as you found it, and remember to trade up or trade even.



This is a Missouri State Park.
