Geocache Description:


The geocache is located at the posted coordinates, but to be able to claim and log the find, you must first meet the qualifications.

Florida Crackers are the names of the first settlers in Florida . They were cowboys and cowgirls. They got their names from the sound the whip makes as they chase cows out of the forrest and scrub areas. Another name for them was cow hunters. When the first settlers came to Florida, they discovered there were of cows roaming all over, descendants leftover from the Spanish explorers a couple hundred years earlier.

Well, the settlers also figured out that catching those cows was a great way to make money, or just stay alive. Okeechobee has had its share of crackers around for a long time, up to 7 generations now. If you drive around the county, especially north of town, you will see the ranches and cattle, very similar to what it was like a few generations ago.

To be able to claim this cache, you must have found a combined minimum of 250 caches with the HORSES or LIVESTOCK NEARBY attributes.
