This cache started out as a Puzzle. From a starting location, I was going to give a general direction and just post the the picure for cachers to search out. But it turns out that geocaches must use exact locations, not approximate ones. So instead of creating some strange cache that would have met the technical requirements, I just turned this into a traditional cache. The picture is of the actual cache location so you won't get sympathy for any GPS bounce. If you want to challenge yourself, only use the coordinates to find the valley floor and then just use the picture to locate the cache.
01/10/16 Update - replaced cache container and secured it with two rocks. It's less visible now. Search carefully
02/14/26 Update - replaced cache container and secured it with several rocks. Should be more secure now.

NOTICE: Please be respectful of the posted park hours. If you enter the park after hours you are trespassing. If you are stopped you can be ticketed or arrested and will put the future of geocaching in the parks in jeopardy. Special permission to hide caches in St. Louis County parks is NOT needed as long as the Groundspeak rules are followed. "Blanket Permission" has been worked out in advance with the park service. DO NOT CALL THE PARK as they cannot handle the calls. The Groundspeak cache reviewer does need to know exactly how and where the caches are hidden and what type of containers are used. The geocaching liaisons will notify the park service of new caches. Remember NO AMMO BOXES or PVC PIPE caches.
