Geocache Description:

Where the Mosquittos calll home. Awesome scenery.

Long Pine Virtual Cache

Pros: Located in the Everglades (In Long Pine campground (3-4 miles into park)

Cons: Costs money to Enter Park (I think $8 or so for day visit, buy an annual for only $20 Bucks!!!)

Comments:  Our family tries to get out to the Everglades at least 6-10 times a year.  It is trully one of the greatest resources we have in South Dade & Florida.  I Stongly encourage everyone to visit the Everglades.  I camp out here at least once a year.

Location:  This was a geocache location, but I did not know you could not place caches in National Parks.
To verify your find e-mail me the main attraction at this location(natural), don't post your answer here even if encrypted.

Landscape:  This Virtual cache is located shortly off a trail (within 20 feet) within the Long Pine campground in the Everglades National Park.  This seems to be the official trail entrance for the park.  Some GPS software marks the trail entrance on the farther side of the loop.  Go towards the Hard-Wood Hammock Area, it stands out amongst the Pine/Palmetto Everglades landscape.  This Trail IS AWESOME AT NIGHT!!!!
