Johns River Kids Traditional Cache

This one-half gallon capacity cooler is my fifth hide specifically for "kids."  Of the others, one was washed away by the first and biggest of last year's floods and two have been muggled and replaced with smaller containers in less accessible locations.  That's likely what will happen with this one if you don't rehide it well. Read on for information about access, particularly during the warmer months.

This hide is in an area frequented by fishermen and honeycombed with paths that come and go with the seasons and the water level.  You might consider this one between the higher roads and the lower roads.  The lower approaches can be very slick when wet, or even underwater during or following heavy rains here or farther up the river.  The higher approaches are less-well defined.  Both have some briars and, during the warmer months, plenty of poison ivy and mosquitos and other insects.  If you see a snake, it likely will be a blacksnake that will probably flee immediately. No need to take chances; wait for any snake to depart or detour around,
