Adoption note: This cache was originally placed by FSUDad, one of the best cache hiders Central Florida has ever seen. I had the privilege of finding this one years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, as I did with so many of his caches as I was getting started in this game. Since he's moving out of the area, I've adopted this listing to keep it alive. The below description is how he originally wrote it. Cache on!
