Greetings,

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so for the time being it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. We are no longer leaving caches stay disabled for extended periods of time.

Groundspeak and the geocaching community appreciate your contributions to geocaching and I hope to see this cache back in operation soon.

If you can get it back up and running in the next week or so contact me to get it re-listed. Otherwise plan to move it slightly and set up a new cache page.

Geocache Description:

This is #2 in my series of Caches that provide views of the Kansas City Skyline you don't normally see.
The Cache is a Micro with just a log book so bring a pen. It is along the road and the road is wide here with plenty of space on either side to park and walk. There is no barrier between the siding and the road so although it's Kid friendly keep in mind it's along the road so exercise the same caution you would with your kids along any busy road.

After you find the cache take a minute and take in the view of downtown in the distance to the west. For some history of the spot your standing on follow this link: (visit link) . Off to your right obscured by trees is Lincoln Cemetery. A famous Musician is buried there and there's a virtual cache you should snag while your close. (visit link)
Now do a 180 back to the east and your facing into Independence. Here to your left is mount Washington cemetery. Washington Cemetery used to be an amusement park called Washington Park around the turn of the century. More info on Washington Park can be found here: (visit link) .
Also facing east between the large radio tower and Truman road used to be the site of the Webb Castle. There's conflicting info on the internet but the prevailing info is that the Castle was moved over from England in 1904 by Watt Webb, president of Missouri savings, bank. More info can be found here.. (visit link)
Hope you've enjoyed the view and the little history I've imparted.
