Geocache Description:

The cache is located in the Alafia River Corridor Nature Preserve. The trail head is located at the end of Old Welcome Road, approximately one mile south from the intersection of SR 39 and Hwy 640 (Lithia Pinecrest Road). Hours for the preserve are from sunrise to sunset. Leashed dogs are welcomed. Parking is located at N27 49.602 W82 07.972

You can find information about this preserve and a map of  the trails by clicking on this link. The trails are on page 4. Page 2 are the trails for a preserve just a couple of miles north of this preserve.

There are two loop trails in the preserve area. Once you park you can grab a small map at the trailhead to show you the different trails. This cache is hidden along the trail to the West. As soon as you cross through the horse gap continue straight ahead. You are looking for a marked trail leading to your right. The trail is well marked with horse trail signs and is about a 3.3 mile walk around the loop. While searching for this cache you will pass through pine flatwoods, dry prairie, hardwood hammocks and wetlands. Depending on water levels you may have one or more water crossings. Bring water shoes if you don't want to get your hiking boots wet. There are quite a few other caches in the area so make sure you search for them as well if you have time. You are looking for a camouflaged tupperware container.
