We live very close to this park. It is very nice. The main camping area has lots of tall pine trees. I have also heard that there are several new caches in the Farmington area (which is actually closer to the park than Ste. Gen is). So, come on down and enjoy the area!If 'the girls' are looking for something else to do there are wineries close by also.

There was a doe standing about 10 feet from the road, with triplets about 15 feet from the road. I stopped the car, took some photos with my phone (unfortunately didn't have a better camera with me) and they just stood there like they wanted to be shot, with a camera that is. ;-) Gale ----- Original Message ----- From: Bernie To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 3:42 PM Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Hawn State Park I highly recommend it. Deer come right in to the camp ground. Bring some swimwear to wade around in the creek. Also, there is a cache on top of Evans Mound that has never been activated, Bernie -----Original Message-----From: geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brian and Sue SteeleSent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 2:57 PMTo: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [GeoStL] Hawn State ParkHas anyone camped at Hawn State Park before? I'm looking for a park to tent camp at during a girls weekend out, maybe in October. We're wondering if this is a good park. I've never been in the area before. It is located in St. Genevieve. _________________________________________________________________ Recharge--play some free games.
