Geocache Description:

Welcome to the remake of Geezer Springs. You seek an ammo can just a short hike away from the springs.

Back in November of '06, my brother and I hunted for the infamous Geezer's Little Wekiva Mud Cache and limped away with our tails betwixt our legs. While expanding our hunt, we came across this way kewl spring, and knew beyond a doubt that we had to hide a cache here someday. As a "Thanx!" to our favorite Geezers, CondoMax and zbeard, I've named this spring after them. You can blame them for all the water, mud & bugs you'll be experiencing during your hunt. At first glance, this place just looked neat, but after settling down and checking it out, the theme song for "The Twilight Zone" started playing in my head. We noticed there were tropical fish living in the spring basin. Then, as we checked out the palm trees around the basin, we noticed several toys placed in & around them, as if they were guarding it. There was even a dream catcher in one tree. The cumulative experience was kinda spooky. We discovered later that the strange items were left by a really strange guy who calls this place home. He looks like he'd be right at home wearing a leather mask and carrying a chain saw. It would behoove you to keep an eye out for him as you enter the woods. Geezer Springs is a 5th magnitude spring. The main pool of Geezer Springs is enclosed within a 3.5-foot-high concrete, circular wall about 12 feet in diameter. A large sand boil is visible approximately 3 feet to 4 feet below the water's surface, with several more sand boils also visible. Seven mature palm trees surround the concrete pool. The pool discharges out of a rectangular opening in the side of the wall, then flows northwest in the sandy spring run about 550 feet long and 3 feet wide to the Little Wekiva River. Another vent is located on the west bank of the Little Wekiva River, with numerous other small sand boils in the river floodplain on the west side of the river. Discharge from Geezer Springs was measured in 2005 at 0.11 cubic feet per second by St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). Bring some good boots, as this area gets very muddy during the wet season. There is a road widening project going on right now, so it's probably best to avoid hunting this one during banker's hours, unless you like dealing with big, burly construction workers. According to the Seminole County Property Appraiser, this little chunk of land is owned by Seminole County. Good luck! Post Script: This is NO LONGER a Ammo Can!
