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 # 54
Joseph Hernandez was the first Hispanic person to serve in Congress. His parents came to Florida from Minorca, an island off the coast of Spain, in 1768. He was born in Spanish St. Augustine in 1788. When Florida became part of the United States in 1821, Joseph stayed in the new territory while his relatives moved to Cuba .Hernandez was the first presiding officer of Florida’s territorial legislature in 1822, and he helped select Tallahassee as the state capitol. In 1845, Hernandez was elected Mayor of St. Augustine. He also served with other influential Floridians as a director of the Union Bank in Tallahassee. He was apparently the first Hispanic to serve in Congress as well, but additional efforts to further his political career ended without success.
