This cache is located in the Highlands Hammock State Park. NOTE:
There is an entrance fee of $4/car to enter this park. Local
cachers will be aware that the hurricanes which hit Florida in
August and September 04 caused a great deal of tree damage in this
park. As of December 04, the trail to the cache is clear, but there
are a few more fallen branches/logs around the cache site than
there were before. There is also a lot more sunlight hitting the
forest floor than there was--there could be a lot of underbrush
here in a year or two! But for now the degree of difficulty seems
about right. The cache is hidden off of a loop trail called the
"Ancient Hammock Trail," which has a lot of cool, big old trees
along it. There are also a lot of wild citrus trees along the path.
Follow the entrance road to the parking area for the Ancient
Hammock Trail, then follow your GPS. We were getting pretty good
reads on our GPS, despite being under the tree canopy. The ranger
will give you a map when you pay your admission fee to get into the
park. This cache is hidden in a clear Tupperware container with a
white top. Be careful for insects and other critters when you
approach the cache site; you're in a wilderness!!! The cache has a
theme of racing in honor of the nearby Sebring Race Course. Cache
contents are: 6 Hot Wheels cars 1 bottle of Coke in Sebring
commemorative bottle 1 plastic alligator 1 orange bouncy ball 1 log
book and pen Please make sure the cache is hidden when you return
it to its spot. Thanks!!
