South Shore Revived Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

Located in the Tomoka State Park. There is a $4.00 per car entry
fee. This cache replaces an archived cache by DevilDuck1 called
South Shore. It disappeared. I replaced it for him, and my
container disappeared also. Mine was not published, so it was the
critter muggles that done it. Hope this one last for a while. This
cache is situated on Spoils Island and is near my Big Eyes In The
Woods Series.
This story line is included here, to show that there really may be
something in these woods. We know it craves cache containers, lets
hope it doesn't crave cachers as well. BEWARE!!! *******BIG EYES IN
THE WOODS******* Once upon a time, in a land we now call Florida,
lived a proud nation of people we have called the Timucuans. They
existed along a beautiful river, living off the bounty of the land
and sea. The main village was called Norocco. Legend has it that 2
young boys from the village, were out in the forest collecting wood
for their family cooking fire. It was growing late and getting dark
as they scrounged the last few sticks for the fire. One of the boys
named Moka, happened to look deeper into the woods and saw the most
enormous pair of eyes he had ever seen, staring back at him. He
yelled to the other boy to run, while he stayed behind to protect
his friends retreat. As the friend reached the village, he spread
the alarm that something was in the woods. When the brave Moka did
not return, the men of the village went out to search for him.
Sadly, they did not find him, but what they did find, were the torn
remnants of his clothing and an area of the woods covered with
fresh blood. So whenever the members of the village sat down for
their meals, they would honor this brave boy with a toast to his
sacrifice in saving his friend. What was their toast, you might
ask? Why their toast was "To Moka", of course. And now you know why
we call this area Tomoka. So, cachers beware of night time caching
along the Tomoka River, "BIG EYES MAY STILL BE HUNGRY"!!!! If you
believe this one, I've got a nice high rise bridge in Ormond Beach
I will sell you real cheap. Maybe you could make it a Troll Bridge.
