I'm about to rename this to, "NOT A ZIP-LOC CACHE". Come on folks,
work with me here. This cache is a plastic preform, like a plastic
test-tube with a screw-on top, that is well concealed. It is NOT a
zip-loc bag sitting on the ground or stuck on a branch. Please
don't help me out by placing one if you can't find it.
The recreation trail is a very popular place when the weather is
the least bit nice. You can expect walkers, joggers and bicyclists.
Be aware of muggles as you cache along the trail.
This is a micro, log and pencil included. You might have to
stretch your geocaching muscle a little bit for this one. It is
marginally handicapped accessible, depending on the disability.
The recreation trail can be accessed from multiple points in
Cape Girardeau - time to explore! Eventually, you will be able to
geocache multiple caches, from one end to the trail to the other.
Be sure you don't miss other caches in the area.
Accuracy
Eight sets of coordinates, from two different days, with an average
12' Estimated Position Error (EPE)were averaged to give the final
set listed here.
Cape La Croix Recreation Trail
For joggers, walkers, bicyclists, rollerbladers and skateboarders,
the 4.4-mile asphalt Cape La Croix Recreation Trail connects the
Osage Community Centre on the north and Shawnee Park Sports Complex
on the south, while avoiding the need to cross city streets. It
provides users with a safe recreational experience as it skirts the
banks of the Cape La Croix Creek.
For more information on the trail, visit the
Cape Girardeau Parks and Recreation web page.
Permission to place geocaches in Cape Girardeau Parks was
obtained from Dan Muser, Parks and Recreation Department.
