Camouflaged Ammo box containing trade items for the female
geocacher: cosmetics, perfumes, jewelry, etc. Please stick with the
theme if you plan to trade and don't forget to bring along your
daughters and their friends.
The cache is an ammo box hidden near the Weaver River campsite on
Eglin Reservation off Highway 87 in Santa Rosa county. This area
was once known as the "Old Land Place", and the small Land family
cemetery is adjacent to the campsite. One of the markers is for
Amenda, a little girl who perished in 1892 at the tender young age
of four.
Weaver River primitive campsite is about 1 mile off of Highway
87. The road leading to the site is hard packed dirt for the first
1/2 mile until you reach Weaver Creek. At the creek, there is a
wooden bench for sitting and a wading pool. If you plan to drive
pass the creek to the campsite you will need an SUV or a truck with
good ground clearance.
There is a picnic area with a wooden table along the river
before you reach the campsite. At the actual campsite there is
another picnic table, and two wooden benches can be found at the
river's edge.
To Geocache on Eglin Reservation, you will need a $10 yearly
recreation permit.
A $10 primitive camping permit that allows up to 10 people to
camp at the site for 5 consecutive days may also be purchased.
