Cache is hidden on the Alaqua section of the FSNT trail that goes through the Northern part of the Eglin AFB Reservation.
Note: This cache is located on the Eglin AFB reservation. Hunters and or wild life may be in this area as well as military personnel conducting maneuvers. It is possible unexploded ordinance could be in the area so be aware of your surroundings. The current permit cost is $20, which I believe can now be purchased online at (visit link) In addition to meeting permit requirements, all individuals are required to review the Public Access Map (PAM) prior to entering the Eglin AFB reservation for recreational purposes. The PAM is a graphical representation of daily or short term public access restrictions in support of military operations. Compliance with this instruction is mandatory. Increased scope and complexity of military operations is requiring more frequent short term, or daily closures. Jackson Guard has developed the PAM to inform the public via the internet of short term closure of otherwise open recreational areas. The PAM is based on the newly created alpha numeric Tactical Training Area (TTA) grid and graphically displays the current day's closure information and provides a 3-day forecast. The PAM is automatically updated daily at 5 p.m. The PAM is intended for recreational access planning purposes and is subject to change. Gates, barricades and/or range personnel will prohibit access in the event unscheduled missions require immediate closure of public accessible areas. Individuals found to be in violation of this guidance are subject to Eglin outdoor recreation privilege suspension.

You can either start at the FNST trailhead at HWY 331 or the trailhead on Bob Sikes HWY (Range Road 213). The trail is marked with orange squares painted on trees every 10-15 feet. The terrain is somewhat rugged, but a good pair of sneakers helps, sorry no bicycles allowed on the trail... foot traffic only. The cache is about 5 miles down the trail from HWy 331 and 10 miles from the trailhead at HWY 280(Bob Sikes/RR213)
