There have been many discussions about urban caches versus the old
fashioned get out of the car and enjoy a hike cache. Well this one
is our version of the old fashioned way. Find the White
Trail and follow it to this cache.
Some of old Florida is still preserved.
It is known that there are bear in this park. Deer and wild
turkeys have been seen. Saw a Bald Eagle once while out here with
Hiddenrock.
As long as you are out here you might want to add the other nice
old fashioned caches in the park. Start with:
Rock Springs #3 - A Tribute to Tropical
Penguin (GC1KZJ3) which replaced
Rock Springs Run #2 (GCD49)
which was one of the twenty oldest caches in Florida that was still
active. Then head off down the White Trail to this one. Once you
find it, continue on to:
Geezers' Geek-O-Rama
(GCH56V).
You are looking for a camo'd container hidden Florida style. It
is approximately 60 feet off of the White Trail. There is a direct
route from the trail to the cache that will require NO bushwacking.
Please do NOT bushwack, find the easy way.
When placed the cache contained the log book and pen (but you
should always carry your own pen just in case), a FTF ribbon plus
something else the FTF person might want. And the rest of the items
are things that we've collected from other geocaches.
You can park at the Sand Lake parking area trailhead.
Approximate coords are N28 43.428 W81 28.383. This will require a
$4.00 State Park entrance fee I believe. You could land a canoe or
kayak at Big Buck Camp and hoof it from there. Any other way in you
are on your own.
Thanks to the park managers who approved this
cache placement.
FTF --- congratulations
