The Big Boom Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Mongo: This geocache looks like it might need some attention. The recent logs may contain more details about what maintenance needs to be performed. This could be anything from a new logbook to replacing a missing container.

This note contains everything you need to know about geocache maintenance. If a cache is disabled for six (6) months the cache should be archived. Since more than one reviewer conducts maintenance for Missouri use the Log geocache feature on the cache page.

  • Write a note: If you cannot provide maintenance post a note detailing your maintenance plan. This will give you generally up to four weeks to complete maintenance on the geocache. Ownership after publication.
  • Maintenance: Visit your geocache, make any needed repairs, and post an “Owner Maintenance log so the community knows it’s available to find. By posting an Owner maintenance log it will automatically remove the "Owner attention requested" icon.
  • Was the geocache disabled by you or a reviewer? Then you will need to enable it after you have completed the maintenance. How to enable your geocache
  • Archive: If you decide it is time for your geocache to be permanently retired, please archive the listing and retrieve all physical stages. If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived. How to archive my geocache

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:


This cache offers quick easy access to truckers and tourists coming from and going to all points of the map. On US 60, with Interstates 55, 57 and 24 all nearby, this is a prime spot for a quick stop and a smiley.

Nestled comfortably beneath a cute, quaint little fir tree next to a sturdy, protective rock and watched over by the guardian spirit horse, the cache should be an easy find to add to your traveling adventure.

While you are here visit a near by cache (Lewis and Clark 1st Steps into Louisiana Purchase) with lots of information about the history of Mississippi County and the Corps of Discovery, or stop in and say Hi to Wallace who started this whole thing off with a little watermelon stand and can often be found holding court and greeting people personally at the front doors.

Cache with Confidence

Please stay in the front of the building. There is no reason to go behind the building and the owner requests that people stay in the front at all times.
