Geocache Description:

This cache is located within the Tosohatchee WMA near the St John's river., Visitors should be aware of seasonal hunting and must abide by all area regulations while on the area.


There is a long running Central Florida pun which involves going behind a waterfall and calling it "the back side of water". In a blatant ripoff of that phrase I'm calling this cache The Back Side of Woods. Perhaps that will make more sense when you hike the trail leading here. You're looking for a gold bison which at one time was on a host but not now so use your imagination.

At the end of Powerline Road is a scenic parking area and a short trailhead before you need to jump trails early on. Be advised that St Johns River can rise as much as 6 to 8 feet during the rainy season. At times this route will require wading a short distance. Or you may need to find a longer, less interesting route. Infrequently the entire area could be under water. This is also a hotspot for wildfires during the dry season. And there are alligators in the water. If that's not enough danger, I forgot to mention I saw a pygmy rattlesnake near GZ. Good luck!
