Geocache Description:


A bit more challenging cache in Ft. Cooper State Park (permission granted). A pristine 710 acre state park with a 160 acre lake in Inverness, Fl., Citrus County. Park entrance is N 28 49.012 W 082 18.190. Parking lot is N. 28 48.456 W 082 18 356. The lake's surroundings are lush with hammocks of sweetgum, hickory, oak and magnolia. Deer and turkey abound. The park is named after Major Mark Anthony Cooper, commander of five companies of the First Georgia Battalion Volunteers during the 2nd. Seminole War. In April 1836, Cooper's duty ws to protect the sick and wounded left behind during Ge, Winfield Scott's long march from present day Tampa. For 16 long days, Cooper and about 380 men held out against the Seminole indians and finally Scott returned with supplies and reinforcements. Nearly 5 miles of guided trails run throughout the park and the lake is open to swimmers, campers, and hikers. Canoes and paddleboats are available for rent. Cost is a whopping $2 per vehicle (up to 8 passengers). Spend the day! (or two). Please respect the landscape and rehide the caches descreetly. Bring mosquito repellant!!! The cache contains the following treasures.

4 christian bookmarks
1 santa tree ornament
2 toy cars
1 used but not abused golf ball
4 rubber frogs
1 wooden nickel
1 silver pocket cross
1 writing pad/pen in sealed baggie

This is my 4th. cache in Ft. Cooper State Park and more are planned as so many cachers are enjoying the hunt in this pristine little historical park nestled in the middle of Inverness with its fine motels, restaurants and paved 47 mile bike trail.
