Jefferson Barracks: Rally ‘round the Flag!

Enter Jefferson Barracks through the old North Gate at S. Broadway and Kingston entrance. Proceed southward to the intersection of GREGG and GRANT roads. Branch off to the Right onto GREGG and continue southward to the CORK BALL Fields across from the Black Hawk Shelter. Make a Left at the CORK BALL Fields sign. The road you are now on forms a hairpin; proceed eastward to the end of the road where it loops back toward GREGG. Stop at the Handicap parking sign on the Left side of the road at the parking spaces that will only accommodate three vehicles.

From the Handicap parking sign, view southeast on an azimuth of 145˚ (magnetic) and you will see a bird-feeder on top of a 12 foot tall 4” x 4” wood post, inline and forming a “range” between the sign, a tree, the bird-feeder, and a small tree (20’ tall) just beyond the feeder. Walk about 70 paces. My personal pace count of 70 paces equal 100m to the small tree behind and inline with the feeder; once at the small tree look to the east. You should be able to view “Old Glory” standing tall at the top of the pole. Make your way to that flagpole.

In ancient times a Roman soldier’s pace was measured at 5.28 feet and is the forward distance between two steps. Two steps equal one pace. A pace is counted every time your right foot touched the ground. All military marches begin with the left foot. “Mille Pace” or 1000 paces equal one mile (5,280 feet).

Make a Left at the flagpole and proceed north along the walkway where you’ll come to an open Amphitheater. Make a Right at the next flagpole you encounter, and follow the walkway to a four post metal trellis that is the entrance to a 25 foot square patio with two benches. One bench faces North and the other East. You may find the STEUERMANN Letterbox cache site resting on the outside of the wooden frame in the NW corner. The prescription for success is to think “SMALL”.
