GC16E3W St. Marks Trail #1 - Trail Head (Traditional Cache) in Florida, United States created by DiverRN

DiverRN: On a maintance run today and was unable to find the cache. It's not like someone had cleaned the area up as there were several larger containers there (discarded bottles). If I replaced it that would be the 4th time so I think it's time to let this one go. I'm archiving the bonus cache, too.

Geocache Description:

This cache is located at the St. Marks trail head.

The Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail, Florida’s first designated state trail, follows the abandoned railbed of the old Tallahassee-St. Marks Railroad. The lower 16 miles of the trail is managed by the Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Greenways & Trails with another 4.5 miles north of the trail head maintained by the City of Tallahassee. The railway operated from 1836 to 1983 transporting goods like cotton, turpentine and timber and during the Civil War, transporting troops.

Today the trail is enjoyed by runners, walkers, bikers, and in-line skaters. There is an adjacent unpaved trail for equestrian riders, too! You can visit the state trail website:

There are six small caches (spice bottles) which all contain partial coordinates to a regular sized bonus cache. It was very overcast the day the caches were placed, so the hints are strong in case the GPS is inaccurate. The coordinates will be adjusted with input from you.

This is a great opportunity to get out on the trail! You can do the whole 16 miles in one shot and get the bonus on the way back or each one can be a park-n-grab.

Thanks a lot to Miles and Rick at the Office of Greenways & Trails for their support for these caches.
