Geocache Description:

Welcome to Mushroom Rock State Park and the 2011 KWPT State Parks Challenge! This multi-cache is part of a state-wide contest with a total of 31 participating State Parks and Wildlife Areas. The contest ends on November 1, 2011, and only Official KWPT Challenge caches are eligible for this statewide contest.

See the KWPT webpage (visit link) for specific details and instructions.

In Dakota Sandstone Country are five acres of curious sandstone formations that have an Alice in Wonderland effect on visitors. Located one mile south of Carneiro in Ellsworth County, Mushroom Rock State Park is one of the truly amazing wonders of Kansas. This unique geological oddity has drawn people including Indians, mountain men, soldiers, and present day visitors. Kit Carson was to have said
that the area was his “favorite little place.”

The posted coordinates will take you to the first part of a two-stage multi-cache. This container will be marked "First Geocache" where you will discover a logbook to sign, and the coordinates to the second stage. Once you find the container marked "Second Geocache", sign the logbook, take a certificate, and then record your find on geocaching.com. Please do not share coordinates or coupons with other players, and make sure your signature in the logbook matches your online user name! Keep all of your certificates together as you travel across our beautiful state completing the Challenge. At the end of the Challenge, mail your entry forms and all collected certificates to KWPT to become eligible for prizes such as camping permits, annual park permits, and more. Completed entry forms and all collected certificates must be received by KWPT by November 1, 2011. See the KWPT webpage (visit link) for complete details and instructions.
