This geocache was placed for the 2024 OFTFFF event and is located along the Suncoast Trail which is a multi-use trail that is alongside of SR 589: Veterans Expressway / Suncoast Parkway Toll Road. DO NOT park on the Toll Road to look for this geocache. The new Trailhead on N. Tipton Terrace is a paved parking area only. Currently, the Suncoast Trail is open for use during daylight hours 7 days a week. You can walk, hike, bike, or run on the trail. The trail is a paved trail which also makes it wheelchair and stroller accessible. This is not a flat terrain trail, there are hills and road crossings to contend with. Dogs are allowed as long as they are on a leash. Currently there is little to no shade, benches, El Baño’s or drinkable water available along this stretch of the trail. Remember to bring your sunscreen (The Florida sun can be brutal), water, snacks and insect repellent. There were a lot of Fire ant nests spotted alongside the paved trail.
We did not want to make this hard to find and included a hint to help you find it. The containers you can reach without going into the bush or across any fence. The right of way for the paved trail is mowed. You will need to leave the paved trail to get to the container along the edge of the right of way. You will need tweezers and or a log roller to make it easier to remove, for signing. roll back up and replace the log in the container. Make sure you replace the top of the container correctly to keep the log sheet dry.
