Welcome to the Farewell to Finder’s Fest geo-art, brought to you by the Forest Minions! This series celebrates weird and unusual things throughout the Sunshine State. Please do not go to the posted locations. Rather, solve the challenging quiz found at the bottom of each page, for the final location. For the letterbox caches, please leave the stamp in the cache. They are not trade items. For the discerning traveler, we’ve included the GPS coordinates for these bizarre locations, when we were able to establish them.
Southernmost Point – Location 24.5465, -81.7975
There’s always a swarm of tourists buzzing around this thing at the end of Whitehead Street in Key West. It’s the Southernmost Point in the United States just 90 miles from Cuba. This spot is closer to Havana than it is to Miami. There used to be just a sign here but some of you thieving tourists kept stealing it for a souvenir, so in 1983 this big buoy was put up as the marker. I’d like to see you try to steal that big heavy thing. Actually, this is not the Southernmost Point, I walked several feet south of the marker and the adjacent Navy base sticks out much further south, but for tourists this buoy marker will have to do.
Here is the super duper, way challenging, really hard trivia question, which, if solved properly, will lead you to the final coordinates:
