Geocache Description:

There is a $4.00 entry fee. But well worth it for 13 caches. Along main Park road, turn East at approximately N29 20.861 W081 05.197. Drive all the way to the cable blocking the road, and park. You will see the Park debris remnants of the past Hurricanes. You are seeking a 4 Lock container - 6" X 6". As in all State Parks, do not dig, disturb or remove any artifacts.

*******BIG EYES IN THE WOODS******* Once upon a time, in a land we now call Florida, lived a proud nation of people we have called the Timucuans. They existed along a beautiful river, living off the bounty of the land and sea. The main village was called Norocco. Legend has it that 2 young boys from the village, were out in the forest collecting wood for their family cooking fire. It was growing late and getting dark as they scrounged the last few sticks for the fire. One of the boys named Moka, happened to look deeper into the woods and saw the most enormous pair of eyes he had ever seen, staring back at him. He yelled to the other boy to run, while he stayed behind to protect his friends retreat. As the friend reached the village, he spread the alarm that something was in the woods. When the brave Moka did not return, the men of the village went out to search for him. Sadly, they did not find him, but what they did find, were the torn remnants of his clothing and an area of the woods covered with fresh blood. So whenever the members of the village sat down for their meals, they would honor this brave boy with a toast to his sacrifice in saving his friend. What was their toast, you might ask? Why their toast was "To Moka", of course. And now you know why we call this area Tomoka. So, cachers beware of night time caching along the Tomoka River, "BIG EYES MAY STILL BE HUNGRY"!!!! If you believe this one, I've got a nice high rise bridge in Ormond Beach I will sell you real cheap. Maybe you could make it a Troll Bridge.
