Geocache Description:


This is a simple 2 stage puzzle, read on........

This cache is all about the container...which IS the puzzle. Texaspete302, a friend of ours in Georgia, and his son Ben hand-make some pretty amazing containers. He surprised us with this gift and I promised to find the perfect location to place it. It seems fitting to showcase it in one of our favorite parks in Titusville.

You've been to S1, found some coordinates and made your way to the final location. But before you can sign the log you must find out if the Gnome is Home and obtain his permission to enter. Knocking won't do it, begging won't do it...but there is "1" way to gain entrance. PLEASE be gentle, there is no need for roughness or manhandling his homey little cabin. A little observation, a little patience, and a soft touch is all that's needed! The log container is small and has room for a few small trade items. There's a WeCacheAlot Pathtag for FTF, a STF GeoPin, a couple other items + a pen and a few of MrCacheAlot's home made log rollers. Satellite reception could be iffy but should not pose a problem. You'll see when you get there :-)

There are now 8 caches in this special place ~ we hope you have time to find them all! Don't forget to sign in and pick up a trail map, it will come in handy! As always, have fun and Happy Caching.

A "Flagship" sanctuary, the Enchanted Forest is the first property that was purchased by the Brevard County EEL Program. The Management & Education Center interprets the Sanctuary's unique natural features for visitors of all ages and abilities. Open Tuesday thru Sunday 9:00-5:00 CLOSED MONDAY. No smoking, no bikes, no pets.

FTF bragging rights goes to (drum-roll) the incomparable "RamenNoodles"

Permission to place given by the Region's Land Manager. Many thanks to the folks who manage EEL (Environmentally Endangered Lands) for being GeoCache friendly and allowing us to play in some of the most beautiful spots in Brevard County...we really appreciate it! Creative Commons photo.
