This cache has been archived.

palmetto: This cache was placed with permission from Ranger Jim Griest

As happens with older hides no one now on the property knows about the original permission.

That said, if someone from park service wants this gone now, poof, it's gone.

Thanks MEAN GREEN MACHINE for placing a nice cache in a nice place with explicit permission....

Geocache Description:

An easy and quick one to grab but the park is worthy of your time. Access to the cache is free. You are looking for a lock and lock that has been well hidden. Please rehide the cache as you found it or better.

Take a step back in time and enjoy the 1864 Cracker Homestead with its antique furnishings and vintage farm equipment. The Cracker Homestead is located in the Forest Capital Museum State Park. The museum celebrates the heritage of Florida's forest industry. The heart of the museum is dedicated to longleaf pines and the 5,000 products manufactured from them. The 50-plus-year-old longleaf pines growing on the museum grounds provide a majestic canopy and create an enjoyable walking trail for visitors. Adjacent to the museum is an authentic 19th century Cracker homestead, much like those scattered throughout Florida at the turn of the century. Rangers lead interpretive tours during special events and upon request. Three covered pavilions, that seat up to 60 people each, are available. The park is open Thursday through Monday, 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m., except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. For more information see http://www.floridastateparks.org/forestcapital/default.cfm . Be sure to ask the Ranger about the moon tree.
