Geocache Description:

Located off the Florida Trail.

This is the first cache that we've hidden. Plastic container is about 12" tall and 6" wide, painted camo.

No big FTF prize but take your pick from what we put in it.

From the Highway 85 trailhead this about a 1.5 hour hike. There are something like 5 or 6 caches now within the first 3 miles of the Hwy85 trailhead. Pack a snack and water and make a half day of it!

DISCLAIMERS

1. This cache is located on the Florida Trail. While on the trail, all hikers must also complete and carry the tear-off Hiker Registration Cards that are available at each trailhead kiosk they pass (US 331, Alaqua, SR 285, SR 85, SR 87 and River Rd). All hikers are also required to carry positive proof of identification.

2. This cache is located on Eglin Air Force Base Reservation. An Eglin Recreation Permit is required ($10). See below for info on how to get yours.


Eglin Restrictions: Hikers on Eglin AFB are restricted to within 100 yards of the blazed FNST, side trails and designated campsites. Camping is authorized only at designated campsites and fires are restricted to fire rings in the campsites.

Eglin requires that all hikers age 16 or older, except thru-hikers (see below), to have in their possession a valid Eglin Recreation Permit. An annual (Oct 1 to Sept 30) recreation permit cost $10 and can be purchased at the Eglin Natural Resources Branch, 107 Hwy 85 North, Niceville FL, 32578. (850) 882-4164. Permits may be purchased through the mail with a check or money order and a copy of a photo ID.

While on the trail, all hikers must also complete and carry the tear-off Hiker Registration Cards that are available at each trailhead kiosk they pass (US 331, Alaqua, SR 285, SR 85, SR 87 and River Rd). All hikers are also required to carry positive proof of identification. All overnight campers, except for FT thru-hikers (see below), must also purchase a $10 Camping Permit which covers groups up to 10 for 5 days.

As an aid to thru-hikers (backpackers starting and ending their hikes 30 miles beyond Eglin’s boundaries), Eglin does not require thru-hikers to obtain a Recreation or Camping Permit. In lieu of these permits, thru-hikers must have in their possession an official letter from FTA confirming their status as a thru-hiker and listing approximate dates of travel within Eglin. Thru-hikers are also required to complete a Hiker Registration Card at each trailhead kiosk and have the bottom part in their possession while on Eglin AFB.
