Geocache Description:

Note: There are several other hidden containers in the area (including a terracache and a letterbox or two). Zephyr Overflow is clearly labeled on the log, so be sure the right container was found before logging it!


Grindstone SignWarm, westerly winds sweep over the Grindstone Creek bluffs. Branches high above a stone glade sway gently. Unbeknownst to most, hidden within this idyllic scene is a small container; the final destination of a simple and quick two stage treasure hunt.

This cache's final location is definitely one of the more interesting and enjoyable parts of a park that encompasses several different natural environments. The posted coordinates lead to a sign much like the one to the upper right.

(For those reading with their GPS or mobile device, the sign in the photo states: "To report a sewer overflow call ABC - DEF - GHIJ".)

Substitute the last ten letters in the photo (A through J) with the numbers on the real sign (i.e. H = 4). Then, plug those numbers into the following coordinates:

N 38° 55.FBG W 92° 18.BGC

Grindstone SignSeveral trails lead to the rock glade, one of which follows fairly close to the bluff edge. Use caution. The container is less than 10 feet from the trail, so be sure to hide it as it was found! Fences will not need to be crossed during a search! For obvious reasons, this cache is not wheelchair accessible. Trashcans are available at the parking lot for disposal, so please "cache-in, trash-out" whenever possible.

Thanks go out to Lida Gochenour of the City of Columbia Parks and Recreation Department for placement permission.
