[GeoStL] Re: Hi Y'all

-
Welcome aboard Mike....I grew up in the JC area
...(actually Taos) and lived there for over 30 years
before moving to Rolla. I still love to go back and
would welcome more cachers in the area as I get back
to visit family quite often. If my Keychain XChange
cache at Riverside Park is in the way of new cachers
just let me know and I will glad archive it so that
someone can place a findable (for me) cache there.
Also if you ever get down Rolla way be sure to let me
know and I would be glad to tag along with you
...maybe giving helpful hints or snickering up my
sleeve :D
I have been talking with several cachers in St. Louis
about getting together a group hunt in either St.
Louis or Columbia ...no dates right now and plans are
very minimal but if you can make it sometime I would
enjoy meeting you.
