Geocache Description:

This is a pill bottle located in a tree line on St. Clement's Parish.   The cache is not in the cemetery.  BYOP.

Have fun...


St. Clement's Parish was organized in 1860 and the church built in 1898 and still stands strong to this day.  After the church was erected, many of the local folks whom retired from farming built their houses in the area surrounding the church.  The population is approx. 25 strong except on Sundays when the town literally quadruples in size.  The church is very German gothic in design.  It is difficult to enter the church since a priest does not live on the grounds meaning the doors are always locked except a half hour before mass. 

Not to far from Bankston lies Park Farm Winery.  Although I have never been there, I have sampled some of their wine and would compare it that of the wineries of Herman, Missouri. 

Cache was placed with permission from the pastors of St. Clement's.

Although no one will read this, I am a believer in every cacher have a few FTF.  A lot of cachers have FTF fever and need that FTF.  I would encourage all those of this nature to please allow a new cacher to be the FTF to give them the self satisfaction of being FTF...
