AMTG Virtual FGA Compass 2007 GC

Enjoy

Mid to larg size coin with heft. 1.75 inches 3 mm thick silver. 375 coins minted. Available in other metal/enamel colors. The front has a background and rim are done in black enamel. The rim has raised script that reads "Florida geocacching association 2007". The center of the medallion has a "comapass Rose" done in local flora designs at its points. The background is black enamel and the metal is in  3-D. The reverse has a geocccaher hunting in palmetto bushes against black enamel. The black ename rim has raiseed metal script that reads "www.floridacaching.com" as well as "caching adventure".  I have to rank this as very good coin because of the crisp 3-D and the follow-through of the design. 

Info on the coin: This is the second coin minted for Florida Geocaching Association (FGA) cachers and was created by Izonzo Karst in 2007. One side depicts a Florida compass rose; featuring a cypress slough, an oak hammock, a pine flatwoods, and of course, the state tree, the cabbage palm. On the other side is caching adventure - Photo taken at, "It's Good to Have Choices" ( GCYTPB - It's Good to Have Choices), which is now archived.

GCYTPB:  2 star difficulty 4.5 star terrain.................**The cache has been replaced with a large container tethered just beyond the oaks. You're hunting an ammo can tucked away and covered Florida style.

I found the original container in the ammo can at my 100th find, Further by IK. That was October 25, 2005...almost a year ago. I've included a photo of Bruno at that site in the gallery. 

The cache is located along the Alafia River, in the Alafia River Corridor Nature Preserve. The trail head is located at the end of Old Welcome Road, approximately one mile south of Hwy 640. The Preserve is open during daylight hours, but the parking area is only open from 8:00-5:30. After 5:30, you'll have to park outside the gate.

You've got a choice of two ways to access this cache, the short way and the long way. Both methods are illustrated in the gallery photos. Be warned that these are spoilers. If you'd like to be surprised, don't look...but do bring a towel.

This cache has been featured on the new FGA coin

So many of my trackables have been muggled that I only release new GCs as virtuals.  If you do not appove of this please leave it in the cache for a cacher who understands.  Thanks.  LR
