Geocache Description:

An awesome little trail!

These coordinates take you to the parking spot for this cache: N37 45.014, W091 25.363
Follow the, slightly overgrown, trail from the parking spot, down the rocks, then right (down river). From here you are on your own. Cache is not over 20' from trail. Bring a writing utensil.

If you continue down the path you will come to 'Money Cave'. Folklore tells of Indians who, heavily laden with gold and either fleeing pursuers or finding nothing to spend their money on, cached a treasure here. Remember, No Digging.

The entrance to this cave is 500 feet downstream from the crossing of Meramec River by Missouri Highway 19. The Gothic, arched opening springs 20 feet clear above a mud floor which is 15 to 20 feet wide. The mud floor is only 20 feet above Meramec River's low water level. There is walking height for 430 feet. Remember, Take nothing leave nothing, in the cave.

Congratulations to awanderer for FTF!!!
