This is an historic trailblur cache that has been revived with the original log book. Cache is located DEEP in the woods on UWF Property. Terrain is mostly flat. Cache can be located using existing trail system. Placed with permission from UWF.
The cache is located off of trails on UWF property in a special location with huge oak trees. Try to use the trails - the forest is thick and impossible to pass in places. There are trails which will take you near the cache and back. Wear pants and hiking boots - - otherwise expect to spread your DNA on some of the local plant-life along the way. Also beware that I have seen wild hogs in this area on a number of occasions. Thankfully, they don't seem to be aggressive. You may have some problems getting a GPS lock as you enter this area because of the thick canopy. Multipathing may also give you false coordinates while searching. The cache is not in plain view from the trail, but check the spoiler if you have a hard time finding it once you are in the general area. We've also had problems with the motocross/ATV kids trashing the cache a time or two. Best way to get there: The trails are wide and easy to follow but don't get lost in the clay pits! Keep an eye open for for other trail users - mostly off-road cyclists but you may encounter a hiker or two along the way. You can park on the east side of Pate Road where hikers and bikers park which is also UWF property. Also, beware of motocross and 4-wheelers. *THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE UWF NATURE PRESERVE*. They also damage the trails and generally tear up the place. Report them to the UWF Police Dept. - - their phone number is 474-2415. Have fun and happy geocaching!
