I hear you. I have been watching this rain for quite some time. It sure doesn't 
seem to want to let up anytime soon. Mother Nature isn't satisfied with 
dropping a quarter or half inch of rain...noooo...it has to be a couple inches 
at a time. I was actually thinking about you all when I saw how bad Paris got 
it and knew that some of the caches you have up there were in danger. The best 
of luck to you all...I hope everything works out okay.

Hey Cachers!
 
It is water, water everywhere. Definitely not a 
good time to cache in Monroe, northern Boone or Ralls County. The Corps is 
fighting to save Cannon Dam at this point and there is more rain to the 
north and more predicted for later tonight.
 
Many of the caches Jo and I hid are surely under 
water since even the roads are under water and many closings are in effect. I 
felt sorry for those of you with caches along the Meremec, etc., but never 
imagined we would have this much water and be in the same 
situation.
 
We will get them cleaned up and back as soon as the 
water goes down and we can assess which are in need of TLC. In the meantime, 
forget about this neck of the woods. (Actually, in many directions you can't 
even get here.)
 
To drier days....
 
Libby
