Easy (but stealthy) 2-stage Micro Cache in Penn Valley Park
Dusty Cache
#3 - Guardian of the Steppes
Placed With Approval by Kansas
City, Missouri, Department of Parks, Boulevards, and
Recreation.
The is an easy Micro-cache for any weather, unless the snow
gets over two feet deep. No rooting around the ground, rocks.
Currently overgrown with vegetation. When you get to the final step
it will be obvious where the cache is. The challenge is getting the
cache, signing the logbook, and replacing the cache in
exactly the same place without being seen by the various
other visitors to the park.

You can walk, but may prefer to drive
between the two stages. I would stay out of the woods because of
some makeshift "camps". The area might seem a bit spooky, but it
appears to be quite safe. No one will bother you. Parking for step
two is along the West side of the park, near the Northwest
Corner.
Daytime-Only cache, regardless of what the parking signs
say. |

| Feel free to CITO or any other
activity to make Geocaching welcome in KC Parks. If this cache is
successful, I anticipate doing a couple of regular caches in nicer
parks with the advice of the KCMO Parks department
management. |
Step Number One
The initial coordinates for this cache bring you to this
Firefighters' Fountain.
There is a parking lot on the West side. Closed after dark.
Behind the Fountain is the memorial.
There are several slabs around the memorial. Take time to peruse
these heros' names and dates.
Look for John L. Beatty 01-06-19xx and Michael
C. Joy 11-07-19yy, then use xx and yy from the dates to
determine the coordinates for the next step.
39° 4.xx3 N
94° 35.yy6 W |

Step Number Two
The Guardian of the Steppes
Find the micro-cache with a miniature log book. Sign and replace
the book in the baggie and then into the cache. The logbook is not
waterproof and neither is the container. Please, no trade
goods.
