First off thank you saintrich for donating a few items that where no longer being used.
Second this cache would be most challenging in the summer when the rivers are high... least challenging in the winter when the leaves are gone. (Snow will make this cache ALMOST impossible)
This cache is on St. Louis County Park property. Hours are the same as any other county park. Total walking distance is approximately two miles. From the starting waypoint to the final there are 12 stages. I made this cache to be challenging both in terrain and difficulty of the hides. It will probably take more than one trip unless you use the clues, have a full day, and some luck on your side. I strongly urge you to bring a little notepad, tweezers, and a writing utensil to sign the log. Honeysuckle and mosquitoes are thick. Ticks thorns and ivy are a plenty. Good luck and be safe!
You Will need this code with you at all times.
