The closest camping to Route 66 is West Tyson County Park, which is only a
block away.  There is a nice group site there as well as a couple of
shelters.  There are also a couple of cabins available to rent.  Our Troop
just camped there last month and bike hiked around Route 66.  There are
several caches in Route 66, but a couple lead you out of the park.  A
connector trail leads you under the Highway to connect to a Eureka Park,
where there is a cache also.  There are also a couple of caches in Lone Elk
and West Tyson.  Lone Elk is accessible from West Tyson via the Chubb Trail
if you'd rather hike.

  Wouldn't be this unit would it???? I would like to assist anyway I can
with BSA and Geocaching. After all, I have been a registered scout leader
for over 10 years now. I need to know if there is camping in Route 66 or
Lone Elk?? I see that Babler has 3 caches and Cuivre River has 2. I would
like to point this unit below to an area that has 5 or 6 caches where they
could camp and hunt caches without hunting.

  Let me know your suggestions..

  Mike,
  Our Troop has decided to do a campout in March 2004 and use the weekend
geocaching.  I originally was thinking of a day type outing, possibly Busch
Wildlife, but they want to do a camping wekend.  A few of our adult leaders
seemed eager to purchase a GPS unit to add to their personal gadget
collections, so I don't think that geting access to GPS units will be an
issue.  Any suggestions to a park that allows camping and contains caches
for the boys to look for?  Is there any possibility that someone from SLAGA
would be willing to put on a presentation for the boys explaining geocaching
and to the adult leaders on what to look for in a GPS?  Our Troop meets on
Monday evenings at Castilio Elementary School which is located near
Dingledine and Towers road.

  Regards,
  Mark Bockerstett

    Thanks for the help guys.  My son's scout leader wants me to introduce
the young men in the troop to geocaching as I have done for my son.  They
were going out to either Babler or Rockwoods to work on some acheivements
and he wanted me to look up a few caches in the area.

      Checking the "land use" section on the www.MoGeo.com page shows that
      Rockwoods Reservation is off limits to caching. The next big park
close to
      there is Babler.
