Geocache Description:

We locals call this road "the grade", as it was years and years before it became a paved road. There is plenty of room for cars, trucks, and SUVs to pull off the road safely, but NOT buses, semis or RVs, so if you're in one of the latter groups, please don't try this one.


This historic, 12-mile road is shaded by a canopy of hundred-year-old oaks and is surrounded by pastures, groves, swamps, and woods just as it was when it was carved out of the wilderness by the region's earliest settlers. As you drive through it, it gives you the feeling of being in a tunnel, especially at night. It is one of Florida's top 25 scenic highways. 

A drive across the Martin Grade is a drive through the beauty of Old Florida – through land that time seems to have forgotten.   To the east lie barrier islands, rich lagoons, and flowing rivers that characterize Florida’s Atlantic Coast.  To the west lies Lake Okeechobee, the second largest fresh water lake in the United States.  In between, are the Allapattah Flats, remnants of the impenetrable sloughs and wet prairies that once made up the Alpatiokee Swamp in the northern Everglades.

The cache is a simple camo's PB jar with a little swag for trading. There is room for geocoins and small travelbugs as well.
