Hello Cachers
First, I would like to thank the Springfield - Greene County Park Board for allowing Geocachers to hide and discover Geocaches in Springfield Parks. All parks in Springfield are closed at night. *DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY* Second, Most parks have rules posted in the parking lot area. Please, obey all rules. This way we can continue utilizing parks in the area for our Geocaching enjoyment!
This Geocache should be easy for you to find. We placed this cache here because the location is gorgeous! Please, be kind and leave cache the way it was found. We love seeing photos of everyone on their journey! Be Safe, Have Fun, Happy Hunting!
If you are visiting from far away, let everyone know where you are from on your log!
