Greetings,

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so for the time being it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. We are no longer leaving caches stay disabled for extended periods of time.

Groundspeak and the geocaching community appreciate your contributions to geocaching and I hope to see this cache back in operation soon.

If you can get it back up and running in the next week or so contact me to get it re-listed. Otherwise plan to move it slightly and set up a new cache page.

[B][green]Most problems can be solved with good communication so reply back to the reviewer and we will do everything possible within the guidelines to get your cache published. It is best to give me as much information as possible instead of saying nothing at all. This will speed up the process and we can get your cache published. [/green][/b]

Geocache Description:

An easy-find cache on the Spring Valley Loop Trail in Cliff Cave Park

This is an easy-find regular cache along the 3-mile Spring Valley Loop Trail (some signs say 2.3 miles) in Cliff Cave Park. The park is a gem in the St Louis County Parks system. The park is loaded with geologic features – River bluffs, sinkholes, springs and the namesake cave. A wonderful image trail map can be found at the County’s website (www.stlouisco.com/parks).

The cache is stocked with St Louis-themed items as well as the usual trinkets. Local folks, bring a St Louis item to leave for our visitors.

Park at the first parking area on your right. Trailhead is back up the road at N 38 27.542 W 090 17.551
Explore the spring and cave entrance first (cave can only be entered with advance permission). The trail is marked and is a moderately difficult hike up to the loop, which then flattens out.

Cache is near a rusty old 1950s Pontiac (how'd that get there?), about 250 feet from the main trail and about .29 miles (as the crow flies) from parking area. Enjoy!
