Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small metal "mint type" can just big enough for log, a pencil and a coin or two. $1 for the FTF.

There is room to park on the side of the street to the west of the park.

This cache is located in the small Steffes Memorial Park. It is named for Mr. Bill Steffes. Mr. Steffes was one of Olpe's leading citizens. He was a past mayor and councilman. He also was one of the prominent businessmen of the town. For many years he was the owner and operator of the Skelly Oil Station and Garage in Olpe. He also built several buildings and started the Olpe Food Bank. His son Gene Steffes operated the Olpe Food Bank till he retired. The illuminated sign in Steffes Park was placed there by the Olpe Lions Club. To many people traveling on Highway 99, this sign is the only Olpe news they get. The Olpe American Legion also uses the park to fly American flags on holidays.

Recently due to an accident involving a truck, the illuminated sign was replaced by one of the new digital electronic signs.
