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.
Magnolia Creek Lane – Location 28.5654, -81.6850
This is a narrow road fit for one car at a time several miles south of Montverde on the west side of Lake Apopka. It is partially paved and goes through a heavily wooded area. According to tradition, the road is haunted by 200 passengers who were killed in a major train wreck. While the road does appear to be possibly built on an old railroad bed, the only documented railroad ran slightly north of this location.
Locals report hearing ghostly noises, disembodied screams, and shadows, walking along the road, with no one there to make them.
Here is the super duper, way challenging, really hard trivia question, which, if solved properly, will lead you to the final coordinates:
