500 Finds :D

To be discover by many, at any time and any where.

This coin represents my #500 find at GC11YR5. It was a great journey through Lake Okeechobee FL in which I was in the company of great geocaching friends ( footTRAX, Team Crime Scene and JunglePete).

We embarked on this great journey with our minds set to paddle 2.57miles to the cache. About 1.5 mile in the lake we came across this beautiful flower field in which we stopped for a few to enjoy the amazing sight and to take great shots as well, with only one mile to the Gz I was only worry about a storm closing in on us, but it is all good when you are surrounded by crazy geocachers like myself LOL.

As we got closer to the GZ, and started searching for a closer way to the island, we noticed the type of terrain ahead, hmmm gator land hmmm we really had to think about walking in here since we could not see the floor, so we all started poking the ground with our paddles to make sure we did not step on any unfriendly gators.

Finally we made it within 15ft of the GZ, WOW never seen so many wading birds in one place. So Team Crime Scene and I decided to get to the GZ and bush whack our way in when we got attacked by a mosquito cloud yes no joke. Made our way in just to find about 5 or more bird’s nests oh no way we need to get out of here so we don’t disturb them very bad place for a cache’s GZ . Well needless to say we got out there as fastest as we could covered with bird poop lol, but it was fun.

Sign Log, took more photos and we all got happy with this amazing adventure well worthy of my #500 find. The trip back was relaxing and we made just in time before the storm hit us...
