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.
Suicide Road – Location 28.8104, -80.8309
This strange road off Route 3 in the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge has somehow acquired the reputation of a suicide road. The road, which has no official name or number, was evidently built many decades ago and is only about a mile long with two or three turns before it reaches a dead end. Actually there seems to be no logical reason for this road to exist. According to the ghastly tale someone committed suicide here fifty-some years ago and when it rains, you can see blood where he died.
Here is the super duper, way challenging, really hard trivia question, which, if solved properly, will lead you to the final coordinates:
