The cache is located in Blackwater River State Forest just off the
Florida Trail just south of the Alabama line where the Florida
Trail connects to the Alabama Trail. The trail is well marked in
orange blazes and easy to hike.
The Florida Trail is a continous trail that runs from the great
cypress swamp in south Florida to the Alabama line where it
connects with the yellow blazes of the Albama Trail which connects
to the AT. The cache is hidden about one mile down the trail from
where the trail crosses Bever Creek Road the second time: N30
59.061 W86 46.903 and you can leave your car on the side of the
road there. Take the trail to the East. When you find the mail box
that marks the end of the Florida Trail leave your name. In the
cache you will find a log book to leave your name and a camera to
take your picture. Take something and leave something.Inside you
will find (butterflies, FTA and AHTS pamphlets, shell, tree, cow,
patch, and a sand dollar.

Finally made it up to get this cache. I still would like to follow the trail into Alabama.

What a beutiful day for hiking and geocaching! Parked near the northern trailhead and made the hike in about a mile in length...saw a couple of fox squirrels and rabbits...found the mailbox easily, the actual cache took some doing...but then there she was! Contents were damp, so I let everything air out for about 15 minutes. Thanks for the hide!

Well....we found the cache, though we did not find the trail until we found the cache. We looked and looked for the trail crossing the road, but were just plain blind, I guess. We thought we were in for a hike, but after maneuvering down numerous forestry roads, we drove up to within feet of the cache. Then we found the trail markers. Obviously, we never found the mailbox. Took a coin and left a toy car. TFTC.
