Geocache Description:

On the banks of Eagle Creek...

Find the bones and you find the cache about 6 feet away.

This is no longer a twist-top clear container. It is now an ammo can. Please cover well to avoid it being found by muggles who visit here.

You can get here by 2WD (I did), but there are a couple of places where the sand is soft and a couple of places in the road that cover with water after recent rainfall. The last road is somewhat narrow from the branches hanging over/into the road. It would also make a fun bike ride or hike.

This cache is within the Eglin air force base reservation. A pass is required to be on the reservation. It cost $7 (2006) for October - September and comes with a great map. It can be obtained from Eglin AFB Natural Resources Branch (Jackson Guard Office), located at 107 Highway 85 North, Niceville FL 32578. See GCKC1A or coordinates N 30° 31.480 W 086° 29.585.

Office hours are: Monday-Thursday 7:00-4:30pm; Friday 7:00am-6:00pm; Saturday 7:00am-12:30pm; Closed on Sunday and Federal Holidays.

A pass can be obtained by going to Jackson Guard or by mail. (See above address). Mail a copy of your most recent pass to Jackson Guard at above address with any changes in address noted. It takes 1 to 2 weeks to process. If you do not have a pass, mail a copy of your driver’s license with your phone number. Payment by mail must be by check. They will accept it made out to Jackson Guard. Phone # is (850)882-4164. A pass can also be obtained immediately by going to Jackson Guard in person during office hours.



Additional Note:
It seems many geocachers have been going on Eglin AFB Property without the required range pass. See this log and this log. PLEASE get a pass if you intend on doing this geocache. It is less than the cost of a movie, and provides many more hours of entertainment. If you don't intend on getting a pass, I respectfully ask that you not find this geocache. It could ruin the geocaching on Eglin AFB property for everyone.
