Yeah, but don't they have more than ONE park? Mike had a cache in one of their
parks for a very long time, but it came up missing not too long ago. He placed
it with permission as well as he should have. (Good boy, Bear!) I was just
wondering if there was another park they were going to use. My cub scout day
camp is in Wentzville Rotary Park. It would be cool if there was a geocache
there then.

I'm guessing he means this one...
Wentzville, Missouri Location
Located in Saint Charles County
The community is located approximately 35 miles west of St. Louis. Freeway
access is available minutes from anywhere in Wentzville. The east/west
Interstate 70 connects to the north/south Highway 40/61 - thus the slogan, "The
Crossroads of the Nation."

It appears that there aren't too many places that DON'T think they are the
"Cross Roads of the Nation"

The city motto is "The Cross Roads of the Nation".
The park district currently has no cache there, as they do not have a
policy. They are currently "testing" the waters, and hopefully we will have
another geo-caching friendly park. I don't want to give away their plans, but
what I can say is that they will have a cool cache out, hopefully in the near
future.
I came to the realization, that many of the park folks are very
interested in geo-caching, it is just that it is hard for them to get
information and a "feel" for it, since it requires a GPS in which is a
relatively large investment, specially since we are still a "niche" type of
activity.

Marcos,
What park district did you donate your GPS to?
What park are they planning on placing a cache? Are there caches already
there?
I think that was a great idea! Good PR.

I was doing some Spring cleaning this weekend, I found a Magellan
SportTrack GPS that I had won on a raffle. I thought about putting that for
sale on a garage sale, as I really haven't used it. Some might argue I don't
even use the Garmin eTrek that I got, but that's for another thread.
Anyway after some thought I decided to donate it to the park district
in my neck of the woods. They were pretty excited about it. They will be using
it to put a cache in the park, so hopefully in the near future we will have
more caches here in the "Cross Roads of the World".
If you are upgrading your GPS to the 60CS, and don't know what to do
with your old one, I would like to suggest to donate to your local park
district, maybe they can put into good use.
The good thing is that donations to the Parks might be tax deductible,
consult your tax advisor.
Cheers !
