Caching in Cape

Over the last few months I have been looking for new places to cache. This past year, I did cache in Canada, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Louisiana, and a little deeper into Mississippi. Pharmd93 called me and wanted to go caching this past Saturday. We decided to target Cape Girardeau, MO. I had been through the city a few times on the way to and from St. Louis to see the Cardinals play baseball. But that was over 15 years ago and I had no recollection of Cape Giradeau. I have thought about caching the city, but knew nothing about the caches with exception of the virtual Cape Rock. Even though Cape Girardeau is within the River Valley Geocaching group, caches in Cape have not been discussed, to my disappointment.

Pharmd93 and myself went to Cape Giradeau and were not disappointed with our trip. Most of the caches we found were quality and in interesting areas and do plan to return. Few of the caches were of the Park and Grab variety and some we did have thrilling views of the Mississippi River. About half of our finds required some walking, a couple needed a degree of hiking from the truck. Consideration in terrain was also required, thankfully, the area was not rocky.

After concluding caching in Cape, we headed south along I-55 and grabbed two caches in small Missouri towns and last, we avenged a DNF in Sikeston.
