JaxParks and Visit Jacksonville are proud to bring you this cache as part of the 10th Annual Jacksonville Geocaching Challenge. In each JGC Geocache, you will find a stamp attached to the log book. Simply stamp your 2021 Jacksonville Geocaching Challenge Passport in the appropriate space as you visit each geocache. When you have collected all ten stamps, you qualify for one of the 150 limited edition, uniquely shaped tokens!
For more information on the 2021 JGC Challenge, please visit the Jacksonville Geocaching Challenge website (link shown below) to download the official 2021 JGC Passport (which you will need to be able to print), review the rules, and learn how to obtain a token. The website also has an electronic brochure with details of the JGC Challenge which you might find handy as you explore Jacksonville’s great park system and other interesting places in Duval County.
While enjoying the chance to get outside with your family to find the 2021 Jacksonville Geocaching Challenge caches, please follow all CDC, State of Florida, and Duval County guidelines. Wear your mask when appropriate, practice social distancing, wash your hands for twenty seconds frequently, and use hand sanitizer when handwashing is not convenient.
Community COVID guidelines will be implemented as appropriate.
Seaton Creek Historic Preserve marks the location of the southernmost battle of the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Thomas Creek on May 17, 1777.
This Letterbox is located at the secondary, eastern Seaton Creek Historic Preserve Trailhead. Take the east Service Road to the posted coords. At the posted coords you will find a bench and a post with yellow and blue trail blazes.
From the posted coords, continue along the Service Road for approximately 0.40 mile following a 50 degree bearing. When you reach the end of the Service Road, turn to a bearing of 350 degrees and trek 50 feet toward three that are the same.
This Letterbox cache contains a stamp in addition to the JGC Passport stamp. Make sure you stamp your Passport with the correct stamp. Also, look down and keep alert as there have been multiple critter sightings along the trail in the preserve.
