Geocache Description:

This cache is pretty well hidden, you may have to do a little poking around. Its location is on an old gravel/dirt road so I would suggest something other than a car. There is a overflow well very close by so if you want take a dirt of the mineral water. Watch for snakes, insects, and other creatures around this cache. It will most likely be a tad bit muddy around the cache so watch your step. Good luck!

The Fountain of Youth is a legendary, mythical spring which was, supposedly, found in Florida by Juan Ponce de Leon, a Spanish explorer. Tales of such a fountain, that restores the health and youth of anyone who bathes in its waters, its legend has been recounted across the world for thousands of years. Ponce de León was searching for the youth-giving fountain when he traveled to what is now Florida in 1513. Since then, the fountain has always been associated with Florida, but could it actually be in Mississippi? Did Ponce de León go to the wrong spot?
