On highway 34 east of Silva and highway 67, there is an 1860 cemetery in Wayne County. I took a picture of an old barn with the name B.G. Ho..dagson. We picked up an artesian well geocache outside Glen Allen. There was water gushing from the pipe at the well and Hardy filled one of the water bottles. We then went on to Saddlebrook Subdivision and cache in Cape Girardeau Co. This is a pretty area and several new mansions for sale with one costing $350K. The entry to Saddlebrook was very pretty with man made waterfalls and shrubs on both sides of the road. Some of the houses in the subdivision are built around man made lakes but they were all pretty and well maintained. We left that county and stopped at an 1879 single land bridge with a wooden deck at Old Appleton and a cache at Apple Creek's St Joseph Church in Perry County. This is a very beautiful shrine and in the bottom of a small sink hole with a natural waterfall. The alter was placed June 7, 1973. They also had a very friendly cat that liked to leg crawl and it was hard to get him to leave us alone long enough for us to drive away.
We drove on to Yount, MO in Perry County but it is not marked on the highway so we think we drove through it without really noticing it was there. We decided it must have been the area that had a farm house and a barn with a bridge over the Whitewater Creek. We drove into Fredricktown and picked up two caches at cemeteries. We also went to a "cut" on the highway off 72. There are old lava beds making dikes across the road that the highway department has cut through for the road.
All in all this was a great day. I found a small inch worm working his way up my pant leg. They are unique little critters.
