*gln: ARCHIVING ABANDONED CACHE

Greetings,

Looks like our timing is off and It’s time to say goodbye to this cache.

Since I haven't seen any maintenance here in a while, I am going to assume that your priorities have changed and you’ve gone in a different direction.

Archiving due to lack of maintenance is permanent.
CACHE ARCHIVAL IS PERMANENT.

Let me know if I can be of assistance in the future.

Thanks a MILLION for all you have done, Glenn

Geocache Description:


Welcome to Valles Mines! Please be respectful of the area and thank the owner for the ability to place this cache!
 

All information taken from information packet from owner.

Valles Mines is an unincorporated community in southern Jefferson County, Missouri, United States. It is located about seven miles south of De Soto and is less than a mile from U.S. Route 67. Valles Mines is named after François Vallé who established lead mines there in the 1700s.

Visit the historic log cabin, built in 1749, which now serves as the museum. This log cabin was build as a wedding present from the bride's father. There are many items and information inside about the site and location. Lots of cool stuff to see! Across the driveway you can visit the Old General store, which also has more information and a small shop to support the area and site.

There are miles of trails and some more old buildings to see. So come check this area out! Biking and Horseback riding welcome!

Please stick to day light hours for this cache and do not wonder in the woods during hunting season, the trails are shut down for that.
