Glenn,
Slabtown is a piece of cake and a 1/4 mile easy walk. The small trail from the
top down into the cave is the hard part, only because it's narrow and rocky.
Only one steep part but there are trees and roots to hold on too. Thanks to
Elaine and I expert map reading skills, we took some excellent gravel back
roads (both towards the cave and away from the cave) but never got to the cave.
Then Paul took over and went some stupid paved road way and we got there in 10
minutes. You need to go SO. on 63 to Licking and go in that way.
Clifty Creek is another "don't miss" place. If you go the suggested route at
the trail head sign, it's 1/4 mile down to the creek (easy walk) and then 1
mile in the creek. The creek isn't bad at all since it's pretty dry and it's a
nice scenic walk. There was only one place where we had to cross water and it
was maybe 6" deep and 6-8 feet across. (see picture of Dan placing rocks).
Once you get at 90 degrees to the cache, stay in the creek! If you bushwhack to
the cache you'll miss the natural bridge, which is the best part of the trip.
Keep following the creek and it will take you to the natural bridge and then
follow the creek under the bridge up to the cache.
Dan showed us the shortcut so you don't need to walk the creek back, but that
will cost you more for the details.

Sunday at 7am, Ms E. and konopapw met RGS at
the designated meeting place. We left at 7:15am and
headed for Rolla to meet thunder_monk at the
Steak & Shake. thunder_monk had just placed two
new rest area caches and we gave them the stress test.
SNIPS…
