There will also be rustic cabins and bunkhouse accommodations

Activities
The "philosophy" of Florida Finders Fest is that there is something
for all cachers. If you're a numbers ho, there are lots of caches.
If you are looking for "quality", you'll be in a national forest
with lots of great new caches and lots of long established caches.
Hiking, kayaking, drive ups, off road, and everything in between,
its all there.
If you just want to cool out with some fellow cachers, there is
plenty of opportunity for that as well.
We do have a number of semi-organized activities. Participate in
some, all, or none, as you are so inclined. The following
adventures will be available:
The
Gauntlet
Poker
Run
Best Team
Geo-Shirt
In addition to these activities, there are more activities and
events to be announced. Stay tuned!
