Pursuing a Puzzle Geocache. Originally you had to listen to morse code through the ear-piece but that became faulty. The Cache Owner then put a link on the cache page for an audio clip with the morse code sound. If you listen carefully during the video that morse code audio clip is played.

EARL WIDMAN PARK - PARK HISTORY Formerly the Riverdale motor bike track, the original 12-acre tract of the park, was donated to St. Louis County in December 1986 from Mr. Earl Widman for use as a County Park. The park is required to be in perpetual recreation use, preferably by go-karts, ATVs or motorcycles. Over the years, more than 40 acres have been added to the park, along the Meramec River from the mouth of the River to Mattese Creek, through the federal FEMA flood buy out program and donations made by developers from adjacent subdivisions. In 1989, the Department leased a portion of the park (16.68 acres) to the St. Louis Karting Association to provide, maintain, and manage the site for karting purposes approved by the Department. This lease was terminated in 2001. In 2003 the race track was removed. Widman Park is part of the Meramec Greenway. EARL M. WIDMAN Earl M. Widman was born in St. Louis. He was a World War II U.S. Navy Veteran, chairman of the Board of Faball Enterprises, Inc., and was president and founder of the Widman Harley-Davidson Dealership. He was an American Motorcycle Association Congressman, as well as a technical inspector and official for the organization. He was also a motorcycle racer, and member of the United States Kart Racing Team. He was married to Florence Heitert Widman, and they had two sons, Ron and Thomas. In 1986 Mr. Widman donated his land, which was formerly the Riverdale motor bike track, for use as a County Park. The Earl Widman Park is required to be in perpetual recreational use, and the St. Louis Karting Association maintains a racing track there. Mr. Widman passed away in 1998.
