This cache is dedicated to jimbolaya. jimbolaya went above and beyond, when my back went out on me and checked on all 26 of my kayak caches in Rookery Bay. Not an easy task considering the 8 miles that he had to paddle and was very much appreciated by me.
This is one of a series of caches hidden in the Picayune Strand State Forest. Depending on what time of the that you visit this area, you could be walking in water anywhere from ankle to knee deep. To do this series you need to be prepared to wade, walk, and climb for several miles.
The area that you will be going through is a cypress forest. Cypress trees do not grow in elevated areas, they like low lying areas with lots of rain. You may see bears, Florida panthers, water moccasins, and eastern diamond rattlesnakes.
Please don’t forget to pay the Iron Ranger located in the parking area.
