Welcome to Prairie State
Park!
This is my favorite State Park. It
represents the largest patch of native prairie left in Missouri,
which used to cover nearly 1/3rd of the state. Not too long ago
Bison and elk used to roam Missouri in the millions, now they are
virtually nonexistent. This state park is home to nearly 100 bison,
and a small herd of elk. It covers 3,500 acres.
As you walk through the prairie
imagine what a sight it must have been when one could stand and see
an unbroken sea of grass from horizon to horizon.
However, be advised that once you
enter the park you are in Bison territory. If you plan to use the
trails check with the park officials first to inquire about the
whereabouts of the herd. Watch for hawks, prairie chickens, wild
flowers, and white-tailed deer. If you get the chance, watch the
bison play, eat, stand, eat some more, and do a bit more standing.
Ask the naturalist why they have such small hind
quarters.

As per the instructions that have always been on
Geocaching.com:
Virtual Caches: A virtual cache is an existing, permanent
landmark of a unique nature. The seeker must answer a question from
the landmark and verify to the cache owner that he was physically
at the location.
The owner will assume the responsibility of quality control
of logged “finds” for the cache, and will agree to delete any
“find” logs that appear to be bogus, counterfeit, off topic, or not
within the stated requirements.
***********
If you did not physically visit the area and logged this
cache which is hosted by Geocaching.com then you have violated the
rules. The rules have not changed.
I apologize if there has been any misunderstanding. I didn't
know people were not visiting the area before logging the
caches.
I will delete any logs placed by people who did not visit the
cache area. If I mistakenly delete your log and you did visit the
cache, I apologize. Please re-log it.
