Florida Park Service Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Obilon: It's quite possible that it is there somewhere, but we're hoping to pull all of the Viva Florida 500 geocaches out of here soon and place a new batch. So might as well cut the line and set this one free.
Thanks to all who have made these popular over almost 10 years. The Park is glad to have the visitors and to support geocaching.
