The Hail to the Chief are a series of caches in
Jefferson City Missouri that revolve around the number of
streets in Jefferson City named after our greatest Presidents.
Let your fingers do the walking on these caches. These urban
caches will take more internet research than hiking. Most
caches are micro-caches. All caches are near the parking areas
or streets named for the Presidents. I hope you enjoy finding
these caches as much as I did in creating them.
James Monroe came to the presidency as one of the most qualified
men to ever assume the office. His resume includes service in the
Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress, and the U.S. Senate.
In public life, Monroe also served as governor of Virginia, filled
numerous diplomatic posts, and held two cabinet appointments.
Historians have tended to view James Monroe as a second-rate
President. He left no major imprint upon the office or the party as
an important leader. His cache is located near Monroe Street.
His cache is located at N3A BC.DEF x W092 GH.IJK.

This cache is a non-typical micro cache and there's no room to
trade. The best place for you to park is in a nearby business
parking lot. The cache is in fairly remote place so you shouldn't
have to worry about muggles here. You'll need to venture bit off
the roadway to retrieve the cache. Please bring your own pen or
pencil to write on the log, and please write SMALL.
