Geocache Description:


"We've littered these lovely forest trails with geocaches, because apparently, we needed to entice both geocachers and the kind of people who think 'jeep' is a verb. You'll find these treasures scattered along a delightful mix of forest roads, jeep trails (because why not?), and what we affectionately call 'two-tracks'—basically, slightly overgrown squirrel paths.

Your vehicle's suitability depends entirely on your personal relationship with sugar sand and water-filled sand bowls. If you consider those 'Tuesday,' you'll be fine. For the rest of us, well, good luck. Some caches are perfect for a leisurely stroll, others require a vehicle, and a few are best tackled by a confused mix of both. I personally engaged 4-wheel drive mostly when I was trying to avoid getting swallowed by the Sahara Desert that ATV traffic had created at road crossings. A high-clearance vehicle is recommended, mostly so you can look down on the rest of us. These caches are rated a breezy 2 to 3, meaning you should be able to get to them without needing a tank or a Sherpa. And yes, cell service is still about as reliable as a chocolate teapot.

Hiking? Sure, why not? It’s a lovely woodland experience, assuming you enjoy being snacked on by ticks and dodging wildlife. Oh, and speaking of wildlife, we saw a buck that was basically a walking tree. He was patrolling the area like he owned it, and he probably does. We also have snakes, bears, hogs, and bobcats, all of whom are generally polite and avoid humans, unless they’re having a bad day. Vines, thorns, and saw palmetto? They're just here to make sure you remember your trip.

Most of these caches are your standard 'Tupperware in the woods' affair, but we threw in a few curveballs to keep things interesting. One, in particular, requires a geo-sense so keen, it might qualify you for a psychic hotline. Enjoy the adventure, and try not to get eaten by the buck."
