Park off Hwy 20 in Seminole just past the Chelco building. Two entry points exist N30 28.214 W86 23.924 off Hwy 20 or alongside the construction at N30 28.180 W86 24.261. This cache is located in a recreational use only area (no hunting) of the Eglin reservation and requires a $12 permit from Jackson guard. The cache is located down the trail a mile or so hike. There are quite a few trails, so choose your path carefully and mark your return path with breadcrumbs. Make sure you rehide the cache well as kids from the nearby subdivisions frequent this area. This makes a great cache for biker riders. Take a camera as you might get to see live alligators near the cache. There is a fork in the path near the cache. One way leads to the cache the other leads to a nice scenic view, so be sure to follow that path after finding the cache. This cache is in a medium sized ammo can. Try finding it without the clue if you can.
