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 Scotophaeus blackwalli, commonly known as Mouse Spider, belongs to the genus Scotophaeus, in the family Gnaphosidae. The abdomen appears velvety and soft, and the spider often runs in quick “starts-and-stops,” similar to a mouse along the perimeter of a room; this is likely where the nickname Mouse Spider comes from.

One Man Survived Two Of These!

If you feel like you might have the worst luck in the world, consider Tsutomu Yamaguchi. He survived both of these events during WWII. Yamaguchi, sent to Hiroshima on business on August 6th, 1945, saw the U.S. drop one of these. Miraculously, he survived with burns across his face and arms, but made it home to Nagasaki. Three days later, the second one hit, throwing Yamaguchi across the office and flattening his home. Because his family was out finding ointments to treat his already existent burns, they were safe in a tunnel and miraculously survived as well.
