Geocache Description:

Located in Cape Rock Park overlooking the Mississippi River.


Born on the Mississippi River over 200 years ago, Cape Girardeau has evolved from a tiny French trading post to a frontier settlement governed by a Spanish commandant to a thriving, culturally-rich community of some 40,000 residents on the world's only inland cape.

Your goal is to visit the park and answer the following questions:

1. Who established a trading post on this point in approximately 1733?

2. Why was a portion of the rock outcropping removed in the late 1800's?
