Geocache Description:


Please, do not park along the side of Burnt Store Road and try to jump the fence.  This is both dangerous and will cause the cache to be removed. Waypoints are provided for the pedestrian entrance. 

This is a Challenge Cache and the container is hidden at the coordinates.

In order to claim a find on this challenge, you must find and log five of the seven oldest geocaches in Lee County, Florida.  You can find and sign the log prior to locating them, you just can't log it as "found it". 

As of the date of placement these are the oldest in Lee County.

Trade fair.

This cache is placed with the permission of Lee County Parks. They advise to only park in front of the gate and to do so without a trailer or off road vehicles behind your vehicle (which could prompt a ticket). This area gets very wet in the rainy season.
