But hey, it's never too early to plan a big celebration and besides, this may give the "Big Guys" some inspiration and motivation to meet their prospective goals!!!  BTW - The Event will still be on whether or not the honorees make their milestones - we are confident they will be close enough!!!

There is a lot of "stuff" on this cache page.  For your convenience, here are some direct links to certain information:

HOW TO GET THERE:

We recommend to taking the following route:

If you are local, we recommend to taking 17/92 to Beresford Ave. Yes, there are some lights, but if you time it right you can make most of them. And besides, you may want to stop & grab a cache along the way!

If you are coming from out of the area, we recommend to taking the following route:

• I4 to Orange Camp Road - exit 116.

• Head WEST on Orange Camp Road to South Blue Lake Ave.

• Turn RIGHT & head NORTH on S. Blue Lake Ave to East Beresford Ave.

• Turn LEFT & head WEST on E. Beresford Ave to South Alabama Ave.

• Turn RIGHT on South Alabama Ave & find a place to park!!

Your "nuvis" may not want to take you this way, but we will plant a "caching trail" to help guide you in and for all to grab and enjoy. If you need hotel information for overnight stays, please feel free to contact us.
