Geocache Description:

"Rafael E. Sanchez Memorial Trail"

This cache can be accessed without using the trail.

You are looking for a cache on the Rafael E. Sanchez Memorial Trail in Lake Okeechobee Ridge Park. Both the North and South Parking areas are listed as waypoints in order to stage vechicles for your hike. A map can be printed or viewed by clicking on the Related Web-Page Link above.
Lake Okeechobee Ridge Park is a 250 acre county park along the east side of Conners Highway (US 98/441) in western Martin County. The Rafael E. Sanchez Memorial Trail runs the length of the park, from Port Mayaca north to almost Chancey Bay. This unconventional conservation site is a narrow strip of tropical hardwood hammock sandwiched between expansive sugar cane fields to the east and the cleared area of the Herbert Hoover Dike to the west. This small forested ridge is thought to be the historic shoreline of Lake Okeechobee before the dike's construction, and contains large, old growth trees that offer a glimpse of what this area might have looked like 100 years ago. Migrating songbirds find welcome respite from sugar cane and the open water of the "Big Lake" in this long, narrow strip of hammock, and can be concentrated in significant numbers in migratory months.

Put on your boots, bring your bug spray and be sure to bring a lot of water and snacks for this six mile journey through old Florida!

"Rusty Sanchez"


Sometimes just trying to come up with names for geocaches can be time consuming. In keeping up with the Sanchez tradition we named this one Rusty, because there was a rusty gate nearby... I mean how colorful can you be with a GRIM.
Thanks. From your friendly Western Martin County Geocachers. Joshism, Sticks & SkaryShari.
