The Florida Cracker Trail Ride includes experienced and not so experienced riders who want to travel the legendary 1800’s cattle trail that “cow hunters” used to herd thousands of head to market destined for shipment north out of Fort Pierce and Punta Rassa, south of Fort Myers which was the other coastal market where “cow hunters” loaded herds onto paddle boats for Cuba to replenish the beef supply after the Spanish American War in 1898.
The ride begins at a site just east of Bradenton, Florida and ends in Fort Pierce, Florida. The week-long ride is approximately 110 miles long, riding an average of 15 miles each day, sometimes more, sometimes less.
On November 20, 2000, the Florida Cracker Trail was selected as a Community Millennium Trail. Millennium Trails is a partnership between the White House Millennium Council, the Department of Transportation, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, the National Endowment for the Arts and other public agencies and private organizations. The goal of Millennium trails is the creation of a nationwide network of trails that protect natural environment, interpret history and culture, and enhance alternative transportation, recreation and tourism.
We are inviting you to travel this historic trail that the early Florida pioneers traveled out of necessity. Along the trail you will learn about some of the pioneers and find some interesting caches along the way. If you’re up for the challenge come ride the cracker trail with us.
*The annual ride takes place the last full week of February, we ask that out of respect you refrain from caching along the trail that week. *
You are looking for a camouflaged container. With room for trade items.
Cowboy Coffee
Fill coffee pot with COLD water.
Add one rounded tablespoon of ground coffee for each two cups of water. (Add the coffee directly to the water.)
Bring the water just to a rolling boil. Take off heat.
Add a splash (a couple of tablespoons) of cold water. This is to settle the coffee grounds. Allow the coffee to set for a couple of minutes for the settling to take place.
Pour and enjoy a taste of the old west.
