A portal to local info (Unknown Cache) at 8/7/2007 > > Log Date: 8/7/2007 > About a month ago, I went hunting for a place to spend a long weekend, and grab a few caches. I checked out areas within a 5 hour drive from Louisville. I pulled a lot of PQ's and studied them for interesting spots. When I saw the caches along Grant's Trail, I knew I had found our spot. We just love caching on bikes, so our decision was made. Last weekend we packed up the bikes and headed to St. Louis. While it was nice and toasty (ok it was downright HOT!!!), we had a great time. Grant's Trail was awesome, we went 48 for 48 on hunting the caches along the trail, but we earned every smiley. There were too many clever caches to start mentioning them by name, but I could tell that the hiders in the area take great pride in their cache placements and containers. Other than Grant's Trail, we tried to hit the major parks in the area, as well as many of the smaller parks. I am amazed to say that out of the 130+ caches we found, I can't remember finding 1 light pole or gua rdrail cache. I'm not opposed to hunting LP's or GR's, but they don't really take a lot of imagination to hunt or hide. I just think that is a great testament to the cache hiders in the area. > > So, I just want to take this time to thank all of the local cachers for doing such a fine job. I will definitely recommend St. Louis to anyone who really enjoys caching for what it was meant to be. There are other places where you can find MORE caches, but I haven't seen a place where you could hunt BETTER caches....and I'll take QUALITY over QUANTITY every time. > > Thanks, > SherpaRon & Li'l AL > Louisville, Ky > > > Visit this log entry at the below address: > http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=df6190a0-c750-4c88-bf31-cdf492a 86b9a > > Visit Unknown Cache > THE LOCAL NEWS- St.L, Mo.
