Geocache Description:

The VanFleet Trail is designated as part of Florida’s Statewide System of Greenways and Trails. It runs through the Green Swamp, the headwaters for some of Florida’s most canoed rivers, the Withlacoochee, Hillsborough, and Peace. Landscapes include the natural environments associated with the Green Swamp, former citrus lands and cattle ranches. With only one curve in its 29.2 miles, you can choose to go slow and view the wildlife or enjoy it at a brisk pace.

This portion of caches is on the second third of the Van Fleet trail. You can do it in stages or try to attempt the full trail. These will be best attempted via bike. Be sure to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, bug spray and a pen.

You will be looking for hanging camo pill bottles. Inside the cap of SOME not ALL of the caches will be a letter and number. Be sure to record these as they will be needed for additional bonus caches that will be placed along the trail. These are repeated so don't worry if you miss one. If the log is damp please post a needs maintenance log as well as your found log to help me know that it needs attention.

Project 365 is a year long project during 2011 to create 365 new caches in the Central Florida area. My goal during 2010 was to find at least one cache every day to complete my 365 grid. Since I completed that with the help of a lot of local cachers I wanted to return the favor and place some new caches in my normal caching area.

Since I started caching, not a day goes by when I don't pass an area and think "That's a good spot for a cache." Now let's see if I can remember them all!

There will be a variety of caches ranging from park and grabs to difficult. Some will be power runs, some may make you take a long hike or bike ride, while others may require a boat or kayak. Let's see how many you can find over the next year.
