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 # 46
The Kings Road was built by the British prior to the American Revolution. In 1774 it ran from the St. Mary's River to the south from a trading post called Colerain to Cowford (Jacksonville), St. Augustine, what would become Flagler County, then to the new colony of New Smyrna being founded by Dr. Turnbull. Old Kings road is one of the most historic roadways in the United States and was in active use right up to 1914 when it was replaced by the rails and early roads. Virtually every historic event in Florida happened in one manner or another on this route. Today the old road has almost vanished, been re-located, and buried under paving. It connected to even older routes from Savannah and Charleston making it the entryway for many of Florida's early settlers, and figured actively in both the Seminole War of 1835 and in the Civil War. A section of Old Kings has been re-constructed from the colonial Hewitts Saw Mill north to Pellicer Creek at the Florida Agricultural Museum. The section from Palm Coast Parkway south to the Dixie Highway and the entrance to the Bulow Ruins Park is said to be on the original routing.
