Trout Lodge in Potosi also offers Geocaching for its guests. Guests need to
take a short 15 minute orientation on the GPS and then given a list of
caches. I was down there yesterday training some of the staff on using the
GPS and geocaching and they were excited. Trout Lodge has been using the
caches my partner and I placed when we taught the Geocaching class for the
Women's Wellness Weekend. Most were still there and in good condition. They
re-hid some of our caches to make them easier for beginners to find. The
caches are not loggable and can only be hunted by guests. Sorry. At least I
don't have to maintain them, they do that.

And Château on the Lake at Branson now offers geocaching as part of their on
site activities. GPS's are furnished along with maps and coordinates. I
couldn't tell if these were caches placed around Branson or ones on the
Chateau's property.
We received a flyer in the mail that talked about caching there as an
activity, but the website currently doesn't mention it. At their prices, it
would probably be cheaper to buy your own GPS instead of renting one of
theirs. :-)
