Warning:
The terrain for this cache is very treacherous. You will likely encounter a lot of marshlands, briars, smilax, ticks, poison ivy, poisonous snakes, and maybe even an alligator or two. There are many downed trees in the area and large holes where stumps burned out during the fire. In many areas the ground is extremely soft. There were places where my feet sank several inches and my staff sank a couple of feet with very little pressure. It is possible that you will come to an area where the ground appears solid, but there is a large burned out area underneath it that can cause a cave in under your weight. During the wet season, you will likely have to wade through the marsh to get to the cache and you may sink to your knees muck. Make sure you have a cell phone and a friend with you. Enter this area at your own risk and DO NOT take children after this cache!!!
Even pretty girls can be Hard Core!
This cache was added for the 2013 Hard Core Event. My most awesome wife waded out into the swamp with me to hide this one. Finding it shouldn't be hard, once you get to the GZ. The cache was originally going to be named "Bonus Points" (Hence the name on the log), but I decided to change it, due to the "Cold Feet" were earned going to the cache. I also expect that some cachers who make this their first "Hard Core" will get "Cold Feet" and decided not to go after any others after they get this one.
CO on the journey to hide the cache.
We went after a period of heavy rain, and had to wade through water knee deep to get to the GZ. Depending when you go, you may find dry ground or water even deeper. Always be cautious of Gators and Snakes out here.
Nice, Deep, Gator Hole
