Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Sunshine State Geoart series. Each of the caches highlight a specific location in Florida. None of the caches are located at the coordinates listed on the cache pages. You will need to solve the puzzle below in order to obtain the correct coordinates.

All caches are soda bottle preforms containing only a log. You will need your own writing utensil or stamp (no stickers please). All caches are within 30’ of grassy or graded shell rock trails suitable for biking and hiking (unless noted otherwise). Please bring plenty of water and snacks.



Located in the vicinity an old Indian village, the town of Monticello was originally known as Robinson after its first postmaster, John G. Robinson. In 1827, the community changed its name to Monticello in honor of Thomas Jefferson's Virginia plantation. Jefferson's agrarian vision for America took root in the fields around Monticello.

What is the correct pronunciation of Monticello?
MONTI-I-SELL-O or MONT-I-CHELL-O? (copy and paste correct answer)


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
