~During rainy season this may be a difficult one unless you have a 4x4 vehicle and a pair of water boots.
~ There are 5 coordinates total at this multi-cache.
~You don't have to go far off the roads or pathways to find caches.
~ The first cache is a small plastic box (Maps and next coordinates), the next three are micro (The next coordinates) and the final cache is medium sized plastic box (Log, pen and SWAG inside).
~ I left a map of the roads of the forest at the first set of coordinates, just in case if anyone feels they may get lost driving back here. Please place it back where you found it when you are done, so that others will not get lost also. You can also upload a brochure from their website.
~ Also please make sure you place the coordinates back into the caches so that the next person may find them.
~ This is also a CITO (Cache In Trash Out). I noticed a lot of garbage when checking this forest out. So be sure to bring some bags with you.
~*~*~ If you happen to see any activities that are not allowed such as camping/tents (they do not allow overnight use, yet), fires, mudding or anything else out of the ordinary please give a call to: -Richard Saltzman: Four Creeks and Ralph Simmons State Forester, Florida Forest Service (904) 845-4933 (904) 845-4508 Fax Richard.Saltzman@FreshFromFlorida.com OR -(904)845-3597 On the weekends to reach the rangers. ~Also, with the recent rains the roads are in rough shape. If you do end up having vehicle problems, you can give the rangers a call and they should be able to figure out a way to get you out without having to call AAA.
~ If anyone should find that there is a problem with any of the caches, please contact me ASAP, Thanks.

The Four Creeks State Forest occupies 13,147-acres. The area is named for the four creeks associated with the property: Alligator (Mills), Thomas, Boggy and Plummer creeks, which join together to form the headwaters of the Nassau River.
Much of the upland portions consist of pine flatwoods. Wetland habitats include swamps, cypress domes and tidal marsh. The Florida Forest Service manages the area using a combination of timber harvesting, groundcover restoration, reforestation and controlled burns. Wildlife is abundant on the area and includes deer, turkey, wild hog, gopher tortoise, wading birds and numerous species of resident and migratory songbirds. Turtles and otters may occur along the creek.
