Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Florida Finders Fest 2019 Spidey Geo-Art, brought to you by the Forest Minions! This letterbox Hybrid cache is not at the posted coordinates. You must solve this rather challenging trivia question, to determine the location of the final. As this is a Letterbox Hybrid, we ask that you leave the stamp, in the cache. It is not a trade item. Happy hunting!

The spider species Maevia inclemens, commonly known as Dimorphic Jumper, belongs to the genus Maevia, in the family Salticidae. In the males there are two forms, a very rare phenomenon in zoology. These use different courting displays and differ in appearance: the "tufted" morph has a black body and pedipalps ("palps"), three black tufts across its "head", and pale legs; and the "gray" morph has black and white stripes all over its body and legs, orange palps, and no tufts. However, each form accounts for 50% of the adult males, and they are equally successful in mating.

There’s A World Record For Greatest Distance Thrown In A Car Accident!

This is one world record you may not want to try and top, recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. A car traveling 70mph struck Matthew McKnight, an off-duty paramedic, when he stopped to help at an accident on the side of an interstate in 2001. He was thrown this far. Dr. Eric Brader, his emergency room physician, told McKnight he should send it into the Guinness Book of World Records, but McKnight brushed it off as a joke. Brader was so impressed by the feat that he sent in the paperwork anyways, which was approved in 2003, but didn’t make the cut until its 2008 edition.

How far was he thrown?

42 feet = N29° 27.039' W81° 51.565'

80 bazillion feet = N29° 27.039' W81° 51.575'

118 feet = N29° 27.039' W81° 51.585'
