Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Dogbone hid some stuff.
You may hike, or you may bike, it shouldn't be too ruff.
Of course to find, what's left behind, would be a great sensation.
To begin, you must first check in at the ranger station.
Terrain rating: 2, Even little dogs could make this one

The hike is around 3 miles round trip, and the final container is about 100 feet off the trail. You cannot access this cache without trespassing on private property unless you use the designated trail. Please do not endanger the future of Florida's oldest cache by disregarding this critical rule.
The owner of this cache is long gone and anidanid tirelessly took care of this cache after she adopted it in 2004. Then in 2013 she gave Lorriebird a most excellent birthday present and allowed her to adopt it!
Owners Note December 25th 2020: Happy 20th Birthday, Christmas Cache! The oldest cache in Florida turned 20 years old today! This milestone birthday was celebrated with an event, a cake, and then a hike. Here's to the next 20 years!
