This cache is located a short ways off the Ranch house main road on the hiking only trail. It is just pass the bridge, so hence the name.
This large sized cache container is part of the Bee Line Run. Many geocachers make a beeline for the new caches, hence the name along with the fact that it is heading to and from the Bee Island primitive camping site.
Bee Island is not surrounded by water, nor are there any swarms of bees living there now. It got it’s name from years ago when it was an elevated stretch of long leaf pines in the middle of a massive grassy cattle pasture and there were swarms of bees that settlers used to produce sweet palmetto honey.
The road can be accessed via hiking or biking (mountain bike, mostly hard packed but bumpy). And depending on the time of year it could also have large sections of water to navigate around or through. So be aware and prepare!
Please make sure to take adequate amounts of water and bug spray depending on the time of year.
It is around a 6 mile trek, 3 in and 3 back if you start at the main road and ranch house road and then head to the Bee Island primitive camping area and back.
Please take a few seconds to close the container properly. What takes you a few seconds to do, saves us from spending hours and $$$$ replacing swag, logs and containers. Also please re-hide as well as you found it or better so it doesn't get muggled. Thanks!
