Last Cabin Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

L Frank: Sure enough, someone stole the last cabin right off of its foundation. Kind of flattering, if I say so myself. Someone taking the time to rip a homemade bird house off of a tree and taking it. I searched the area and found no sign of the house or the container inside. Thanks to all who found this one and a special thanks to the people who gave this one a favorite point. I will let someone else have this spot if they wish. Denmother and I enjoyed reading the nice logs.

Geocache Description:


To reach this cache, you will be walking down Hollywood Beach Road. This road, along with Bradley Beach road was once lined with nice homes and clubhouses which overlooked the Meramec River. The flood of 1973 was supposed to be a 100 year flood. The property owners re-built their homes, but in 1993, the waters of the Meramec River went even higher and with the help of FEMA monies, the City of Arnold started buying these properties. Some people still held out, but the floods of 1994 and 1995 caused the white flags to go up and by the end of 1995, 357 homes and trailer spots were purchased. After the flood of 2005, the city purchased another 500 residences in the flood plain. The total estimate came to just under 6 million dollars.

When you walk down Hollywood Beach Road, you will see where mother nature has taken back the land that many homes use to occupy. As you walk, you will still see foundations that have stood the test of time. When you reach the above coordinates, you will find the Last Cabin that still exists in these neighborhoods. The log cabin has seen better days, but the roof is good, which may be why it is still here. When you open the unlocked front door, the cache container should be right inside. It is a coffee can that is big enough for trade items and trackables. Walk in and look around, just remember that other critters may also be inside, so use caution. Please close the door when you leave to keep the big critters from getting inside. Also, be cautious of the other foundations in the area. They may look sturdy, but the trees and vines have made the concrete crumble in spots. Have fun and enjoy the area and the view of the river.
