Geocache Description:

A tricky little hide placed in a tricky, somewhat hard to get to spot. A hike or bike ride of, we're guessing about 1.5 miles one way, is required just to reach ground zero. Once there, you'll have to find it then make the decision of whether you want to make the grab or not.


The cache is placed in the Cattail Marsh and as far as i know, has to be entered by way of Tyrrell Park. Hours for the Marsh itself are from 8 am to 5 pm.

Lot's of wildlife out here so be sure to bring your camera and/or binoculars. Be aware that some of this wildlife (gators, snakes, and skeeters come to mind) are the types you'll want to keep an eye out for and keep your distance from.

Again, this cache is not hidden in park and grab fashion. This cache is not for everyone and shouldn't be attempted unless you're relatively sure of your surefootedness. It's sodie tubie in size and contains a logsheet. Plese bring your own writing utensil.

On a side note, this is one of four caches that has a code in it needed to find the Cattail Bonus cache. Be sure to record this letter and number if you're interested in finding that bonus cache!

12-17-14 Oooops, i replaced this cache today but forgot that it was supposed to contain one of the codes for the bonus. I'll try to get back out to correct this soon.
Goodluck!
