Geocache Description:

A nano placed in an easy to get to spot.

Ona Whidden Platt was born in 1881 in the old fort at Fort Olga, then Hendry Co. Her father and mother, Cisero & Florida Platt left Lake Port on the west side of Lake Okeechobee in 1881 to find higher and safer ground. Since Lake Okeechobee, at that time, was unpredictable, they followed the Caloosahatchee River. At 2:00 a.m., they pulled into Fort Olga, where Ona was born. They later moved up to Pine Level, west of Arcadia, where he had acquired a larger portion of land. He ran cattle from the late 1800’s until 1925 and owned most of the property in Ona; he also owned the only bank. Cisero named the little settlement after his daughter, Ona, who was 14 years old at the time; in 2005, the Post Office was dedicated in her name.

The employees here are aware of the cache and its location. There is also some interesting artwork inside to look at.
Take some time to have your picture taken with this very large hat.
