Geocache Description:

The only thing Stark about this view is the grave of Gov. Lloyd C. Stark who was buried near this cache at the top of the hill.

While you are here you will see one of the finest views in the state.

The view from near the cache looking south.

Stark was born near Louisiana, Missouri. Stark is a 1908 graduate of the United States Naval Academy. After serving four years as a naval officer, Stark went into the family business, the Stark Brothers Nurseries. He was a major in the U.S. Army during World War I. He served as the Governor of Missouri from 1937 to 1941.

Lloyd Stark was part of a family rather prominent in Missouri and was active with his brother Paul Stark in the then family-owned business Stark Brothers' Nursery (the oldest Nursery in America and at one time the largest in the world). The nursery claims to have popularized the Golden Delicious apple.

I came here last year with John Elfrank when we came up to meet with the local Chamber of Commerce and I wanted to put a cache here as soon as I saw it. You are looking for a cache hidden just inside the woodline. Please replace the cache where you got it and make sure it is covered back up when you leave. It is not near the edge of the bluff. Please be careful here and keep your eye on kids & dogs. Permission granted for placing this cache by the Louisiana City Council.
