We hope you enjoy this little discovery and math exercise. This is a beautiful spot to spend the entire day. Be sure to bring a pencil to do the calculations (or you could just do them in your head!)
Start at the Information Sign near the entrance.
Starting coordinates are (note there is an error is the starting point above but I can't change it. Use the coordinates below for starting point):
N 28 07.926
W 82 44.289
You must calculate the numbers and fill in the blanks below.
#1 – Last 4 digits of the phone number on map of the park? _ _ _ _
Subtract 3316 from that number.
Put the answer in the last three digits of the next coordinate.
Go to
N 28 07. _ _ _
W 82 44.2 8 1
#2 - Find the phone number on the sign.
Using the last 4 digits, fill in the blanks. _ _ _ _
Subtract 3755 from that number. Put the answer in the last three digits of the second coordinate.
Go to
N 28 07. 6 1 4
W 82 44. _ _ _
#3 – Count the number of pillars at the shelter. _ _
Multiply that by the number of steps going down to the path that goes to the lake. x _ = _ _
add that to 515. _ _ _
Put the answer in the last three digits of the next coordinate.
N 28 07. _ _ _
W 82 44. 3 8 0
You will find the cache there.
Two things to remember:
#1 Take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints.
As we have explored some really nice parks, it is very evident that some people leave trash and litter everywhere! Please don't litter-
#2 Please take a large stick with you as you trek through wooded areas. You never can tell what kind of critter(s) may be lurking under palm fronds or tree branches.
Approval was received to place this cache here. Enjoy the great Florida outdoors
