MO: Webfoot - has the Bat Cave gone missing?

From: Lonnie (Lonnie@dogscouts.com) | Date: 2003-03-11 22:38:36 UTC-05:00

Does anyone in Missouri know of “Webfoot?”  This person has placed the “Bat Cave” letterbox.  It is in a very cool location, and the park itself and the walk were worth the trip, but we had to go home to Michigan without finding the elusive Bat Cave Letterbox.  We searched high and low for about an hour.  There were also geocachers in the area looking for a cache.  I wonder if someone got too far off target and accidentally found the letterbox or moved it?  I was so looking forward to finding it.  Please tell me that it didn’t have a way cool stamp that I’m really going to be mad that I didn’t get.  Also, if you wouldn’t mind emailing me privately and telling me exactly where it was hidden, I’d appreciate it.  I vividly recall every square inch of the area you led us to, and if you give me a hint, I’ll know whether it was there or not.  We turned over every rock and looked under the boardwalk and everything.  We were starting to doubt that you would have us climb over the rail, and we were starting to seriously disrupt the landscape in an effort to find it, which we are not supposed to do, so we gave up.

Hi!

I'm Webfoot. Last I knew, the Bat Cave letterbox was in place and safe,
but I'll go out and check for it and let you know if it's gone missing.
It was the first box I ever placed. I'll be very sorry if it has
disappeared!! Anyway, I'll let you and the list know what I discover.

Sorry you didn't find it.

Webfoot
