Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This is a large, camoflouged, plastic container. The Dragon Fly stamp and ink pad ARE NOT SWAG. Please leave it with the container. Since this is a letterbox hybrid, it's always a good idea to bring your own stamp and ink pad. Your stamp can be logged in our book, and the ink pad just in case ours is missing or not working.

The hybrid is in a fairly high muggle area, so please aware of your surroundings.


This is now a daytime only cache with a short, easy hike to GZ.The gates are now closed and locked, unless there is a game or practice going on. The terrain rating has been adjusted.

Okeechobee didn't have any letterboxes, so we decided to hide some. Please put everything back the way you found it, to protect it from muggles.

Dragonflies: It's easy to be fascinated by dragonflies. Dragonflies belong to the order Odonata, characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are similar to damselflies, but adults hold their wings away from, and perpendicular to the body when at rest. Their two sets of wings work independently, allowing dragonflies to maneuver through the air effortlessly. Their huge eyes give them incredible vision in almost every directions except directly behind them.

Many people ask, "What do dragonflies eat?" As adults, dragonflies eat other insects and can consume hundreds of mosquitoes in one day! typically eat mosquitoes and other small insects. They are valued as predators, since they help control populations of harmful insects. Dragonflies are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic. Adult dragonflies do not bite or sting humans, though nymphs are capable of delivering a painful but harmless bite.

So we really want dragonflies around, especially here in Florida, to help keep those blood sucking, disease spreading, welt leaving, itch causing mosquitoes at bay!
