100 Flagler Facts Numbers Run. 100 easy to get to, easy to find caches.
This numbers run has been created by Delaine S and the “Old Man of Geocaching”, POJ of POJ & MMJ, as our way of thanking all who have come before us who have made our caching trips fruitful and prolific.
This numbers run is all about Flagler County. The sequentially numbered caches are all on the same side of the road. Seeking the caches in ascending numerical order will ensure that all the caches are on the right side of the road. There are no sidewalks or bike paths along this run. Park off of the road and use caution re-entering the roadway. These caches are all in camouflaged preforms, most of them hanging by green coated wire. There are no baggies or anything else in these caches except the log. Bring your own writing instrument. Please be careful to correctly align the cap on the preform after signing the log, and snug it to the preform to ensure the log will stay dry.
Please put each cache back just the way you found it.
Flagler Fact # 37
Hewitt's Colonial Sawmill is an archaeological site of a water-powered sawmill that operated from 1770 to 1813. Visitors can walk over the mill dam and see where the sawmill once stood that cut lumber for structures still in use today in St. Augustine. Slaves built the dam, the mill, tended the oxen and mules, cut and hauled the trees, and sawed them into boards. The vestiges of The old King's Road that once connected colonial St. Augustine to the colony of Smyrna can still be seen. Many of the Revolutionary War era homes and structures in St. Augustine were constructed with lumber cut at Hewitt's Mill. Old Kings Road, a highway built before the American Revolution runs nearby.
Hernandez Landing (Long's Creek) is a colonial era shipping site on an environmentally sensitive creek and once lead to ships anchored at Matanzas Inlet. It was likely used by Gen. Hernandez to ship his plantation goods. Long known by locals, the area was purchased by the City of Palm Coast and is planned for usage as a park with strong historic connections. It is near the Old Kings Road.
