Your first stop is one of my favorite places -- an old rustic hunting lodge located along Christmas Creek. The rats have kind of taken over but the place still has a nice charm to it. I just wouldn't recommend staying overnight as you probably won't get any sleep from all the creaks and groans. Don't worry. The first stage is outside and away from the building. You'll be looking for a bright shiny metal tag with the coordinates for the final engraved on it.
Please be sure to sign the guest book. If you like, take some pictures with the cache camera. Photos will be posted here at a later date. Also, take one of the cache buttons. There's 6 of them to start with.
Hope you enjoy the cache.
Directions:
Probably the best approach, if you are a hiker, would be to park at the Joshua Creek trail head at the end of Phillips Road (N28° 35.500 W81° 02.555) and follow the Florida National Scenic Trail to the cache site. Another alternative would be to use the forest roads which are open to mountain biking, horseback riders and hikers as well. A $2 per person entry fee is required by the State Forest Department.
Contents:
