Ophidiology Mystery Cache

Placed with the permission of the park manager. This is just another cache to challenge your skills, as long as you are in the park.

Welcome to Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. A short walk from beachside shops and condominiums, this park is an oasis of tropical hammocks - a gift from Hugh Taylor Birch to Florida's posterity.

This former estate of Hugh Taylor Birch preserves four distinct natural communities, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Visitors can rent a canoe and paddle along a mile-long freshwater lagoon or fish from the seawall. Nature lovers can hike along two short trails and learn about local plants and wildlife while bicyclists and skaters glide along the paved park road. Visitors can access the beach via the pedestrian tunnel under A1A. Picnic areas overlook the channel; pavilions with water and electricity are available for rental. A group/youth campground is available to organized groups. The Terramar Visitor Center features displays regarding the area's natural and cultural history. Located on East Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, just West of A1A.

Once you arrive at GZ, set a bearing of 319 degrees true and walk 15 paces to begin your search for the cache. If you are uncertain as to how to do this, you might want to study the method by clicking HERE or HERE
