+JaimeeG Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Hello all Any Missouri cachers here? We will be in Branson during the first part of June and plan to do some caching while there, as well as along the way while driving to Branson from California. We would be interested in maybe hearing recommendations on fun caches, etc. Thanks! Jaimee Quote Link to comment
MTBguy Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I have yet to find any caches in Branson. But I do know that there are THIRTEEN caches there! (three with TB's now.) Although both Table Rock Dam caches by Even'n'Steven look good! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=3399 and http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=3523 . Also, if you are looking for a cheap way to spend some time, take the Table Rock Dam tour, it is only $3 a person, and it takes you deep down inside the dam! While I am giving you tips, go to Indian Point Marina and eat at the Floting Cafe. Great food at a little known spot. (I like the foot long chile dog!) Do you plan to go to Silver Dollar City while you are there? I am considering placing a mirco-cache or virtual cache there sometime. Hope you have a good time in Branson! We go there several times a year, and never get board! The Mountain Bike Guy. ---------------------- Long Live Long Rides! Quote Link to comment
+JaimeeG Posted March 31, 2002 Author Share Posted March 31, 2002 I was actually in Branson in June of last year also. We went to Silver Dollar City at that time. Our trip last year was quite rushed because we only had about 5 full days once we arrived in Branson, and my grandparents (who live there) had lots of plans for us. This time will be more fun because we have 11 full days there. We are also going to go up to the Ava area and look at some property, visit my cousin in Lamar, and my daughter wants to go to Precious Moments in Carthage. Hopefully we will find the time to cache! Thanks for the tips! Jaimee Quote Link to comment

Jeremy808 Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 I live in Springfield which is about 40 miles or so north of Branson. A month or two ago I spent the day in Branson and found almost all the caches. It's a great way to spend the day. You'll end up in great places you never would have known were there. There are a couple of caches in and around Springfield you should check out too. Quote Link to comment
MTBguy Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 You already know this Jammie, but just to let others know who may be interested I have placed a virtual cache in Silver Dollar City in Branson MO.

+JaimeeG Posted June 16, 2002 Author Share Posted June 16, 2002 Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions for caching in Missouri. We only ended up finding 2 (SDC and Houdini) because we just didn't have enough time. We were visiting my grandparents in Branson, and they pretty much filled our days with activities. The next time we visit, we will be sure to set aside at least one entire day for caching. If anyone is going to be near the central valley area of CA and wants some tips on caching around here, let me know! Jaimee Quote Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I am new to GeoCaching, and new to Missouri. Are there any cachers in the Lee's Summit or Blue Springs area? Any geoCaching clubs in the KCMO area? DustyJacket ...If life was fair, a banana split would cure cancer. Quote Link to comment
+lizs Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Hey, you folks putting caches on PRIVATE land. Did you get permission??? Could be in for some major problems otherwise. If the state parks in many places are against having geocaches on their land -- or at least looking at -- I can only imagine how happy management would be at Silver Dollar City or Precious Moments!

LuvOzzy and I did the one at Silver Dollar City, and it is a virtual. There is no physical cache there. My wife says put a coordinate on it and I'll find it. Quote Link to comment
walker1940 Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 We are staying at the Roarke's Bluff campground for a week in May. Several families(from Louisiana,Ark and Missouri) get together there every year. I am already getting a list of all the nearby caches and looking forward to the trip. Hopefully this year it will be dry. Last year there was a deluge. Quote Link to comment
nicolesmama Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I just wanted to say hi. I only just heard of the sport of geocaching yesterday and it sounds like a blast. (Saw it on the travel channel). We are going out to find our first one Saturday. I can't wait to hide one of my own! Where's all my fellow Ozarkians? Quote Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Nicolesmama - I am in Lees Summit and also looking for local cachers. if you hear from any in my neck of the woods, please let me know and I'll do the same for you. I, also, and just starting out. I think I am approaching the decision point on which GPS to get, but am still choosing between the Magellan Sport track Pro, Meridian Platinum, Meridian Color, or (if I can afford it) the Garmin 76S. Good luck on your choices, I have been researching this for well over 3 weeks. DustyJacket ...If life was fair, a banana split would cure cancer. Quote Link to comment
+Roadster Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 The caches at Precious Moments were authorized by the owner himself, he welcomed them there, and he is a very nice guy. I'm not the one who placed the caches there and I haven’t visited them yet, but will soon, I just know the owner. How many of you believe in telekinesis? Raise my hand... Quote Link to comment
+missourimule Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Branson has some great caches. Houdini is very clever, and took us the longest, believe it or not! I am doing this from memory - but there's one with "Overlook" in the name that we also enjoyed. We did five while we were there, and all were right in or very near downtown. We have been going to Branson for years, and had never seen some of these lovely places. Quote Link to comment

Just a suggestion, but to find local cachers you might consider reading the logs for your local caches. You'll see the same names repeated over and over again. Chances are good those are your local cachers. E-mail them directly. Quote Link to comment
