I just looked at the list of MO caches. Inoticed that my TO A
SUNKEN CITY is listed in there, but that is in IL. The first one
is a virtual point, the 2nd is an actual cache container, as
permission was granted at the 2nd site, but the first site I had to
go with a Virtual stop.
ow does my IL listing show up on MDC caches?

MISSOURI CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT LAND
MDC is public land but the Missouri Conservation Department, (
www.conservation.state.mo.us ), requires that we fill out a
special use permit before placing caches on their land. From what
I could tell, most of the land managers seem to be aware of
Geocaching and are helpful, yet you can tell they are a little
reserved about it. They like getting people to their areas, but
geocaching does not really fit within their stated 'mission'.
Each land manager has to be contacted for per mits in their area
and each manager has the power to allow or disallow the
caches. They will require you to fill out a 'Special Use Permit'
and grant permission on a case-by-case basis. They also require
that you place a copy of the permit in the cache container. There
is usually a permit number on the permits, if you place your
permit number and MDC contact person on your cache page, it will
make things all go much quicker.
The MDC website shows the regions broken down into counties so it
should be easy to figure out with region oversees which county. I
would simply call the regional office and ask them for the contact
info for each land manager and then call them (sometimes a very
hard thing to find them in their office!!).
This MDC page http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/areas/ has
a map with some of this info on it.
There i s a land use page on www.MoGeo.com that lists the areas
that we know requires permission.
I hope that you peruse the permits to get your cache active.
Glenn, your friendly Geocaching.com admin.

I live near Cheser IL where there is a Miss Bridge Crossing. I
have an Idea on a cache hide near perryville, but am wondering
what the Regulatiosn are for MO Dept of Conservation, which this
would be on Conservation land.
OK since I am not really into haveing too many 'Hides' I think it
will be neat to have one at the Perry Lookout Tower (about 1 mile
on 'J' Road off of MO-51) If anyone wants to hide it there I will
not be upset, butif no one doesnt I would like to.
If I do, I am wondeirng if that would be a cacheable area as to
Who would I contact and what are the regulations (It has those
Yellow signs - Missouri Department of Conservation: Area Closed
9pm-6am (or what ever hours is posted).
I am also wondering, as one day I was driving towards Farmington
from Fredericktown, and (I forgot exactly where, but I saw another
Lookout tower on top of a high hill. I am wondering if that is
open to the public and how do I get to it?
