Missouri - Important Note : The following information pertains and makes reference to geocaching, therefore these parks may or may not allow horseback riding. You will need to determine that factor first before contacting the land manager. Geocaching basically is the same thing as Letterboxing, except that the GPS coordinates are the only clue to locating the box. These Plants & Finds will also count towards Year End Points and may be submitted to our Clues Page, so long as you were able to access the box by horseback.
