Geocache Description:

This Letterbox is named to commemorate the 350th Geocache that I have placed.  Most of my geocaches are west of Springfield and are mostly rural.  I also prefer larger caches, so this large ammo can is indicative of that.  The ammo can is actually a prize won at the OMG Christmas event, so thanks to Promethium for that. The ammo can contains some nice swag.


I have an MDC permit allowing three geocaches at the Paris Springs Conservation area.  This one makes three.  Since this is a conservation area, do not expect anything to be mowed, so be prepared for ticks, chiggers, poison ivy and everything else associated with the great Ozarks outdoors. The area of the hide is relatively low, so if its been raining a lot there might be standing water. You can park about 160 feet from the cache, which is much closer than the other two on the area.  Parking coords are provided but you probably don't need them.  This letterbox has been placed to assist those who are looking for a letterbox cache for the August 2014 souvenir challenge.

Since this cache is on a conservation area, daylight caching only is the rule.

Regarding the FTF - I think that since this is a letterbox, the FTF should go to the first person who uses their own letterbox stamp to stamp the log.  I think thats only fair and in keeping with how a letterbox is supposed to work.  Of course, all others are welcome to sign the log too.
