I remember talking to you about Wentzville back in February(?) when we
did the group cache at Busch. You had mentioned back then that
Wentzville didn't have a policy (as most park depts don't). Since I
don't live far away from Wentzville I have thought about placing
something out that way. Sounds from your message that the parks dept.
is the one placing the cache. Is that correct? I can hardly wait.
