E. Sanchez Memorial Trail"
This cache can be accessed
without using the trail. Also if you are hiking northbound on the
trail, the trailhead off the road, is near the cache on the north

Heavens, NO...it isn't Jelene Sanchez! But if you are familiar with
caching in these parts, you know our friendly caching hostess with
the mostest! We placed a cache in honor of her birthday! Happy
Birthday Jelene, and thank you for making caching so much fun for
so many folks, you put a smile on everybody's face!
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!
