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 # 39
During the Civil War in the 1860s, Confederates used the beach area as a salt works to produce salt from seawater. The salt was used to cure beef jerky from cattle raised in Florida. The beef was shipped north to feed the Confederate troops. Yankee patrols along the Matanzas River unsuccessfully sought to locate the salt works during the war to stop this important source of food production. After the war, the new settlers known as Florida "Crackers" would make an annual pilgrimage to the beach and secure their year's supply of salt.
