This is a letterbox hybrid cache and there is a stamp provided. Please sign the log but leave the stamp in the container.
This cache was placed along a Jeep trail in the Ocala National Forest. While a Jeep is not required, a vehicle with high clearance is. Some spots will have deep sand and may need 4-wheel drive. In the rainy months, there could also be water holes to contend with. Come prepared and having multiple vehicles is always a good idea. Bring more water than you think you will need. This series is not a power trail, be prepared to spend some time searching. Good luck!
