This cache is hidden in a beautiful remote spot located near
Christmas Creek in the new Charles H. Bronson State Forest. There
are a number of ways you can get to the site. One way would be to
park at the main entrance off of Phillips Road near coordinates
N28° 35.513' W81° 02.540' and hike the new section of the Florida
National Scenic Trail. It runs from the Chuluota Wilderness Area
all the way to Seminole Ranch. When you get to the fence crossover
at coordinates N28° 35.385 W81° 00.418, don't go across. Instead
take the white blazed trail heading north. It should get you within
500ft of the cache. Some bushwhacking might be necessary.
Another alternate route would be to park at Seminole Ranch and
hike the Florida National Scenic Trail from that direction or use
the trails in Orlando Wetlands. See additional waypoints for
parking and other important trail access points.
Contents and Bonus Items:
The cache contains the usual assortments of goodies, some custom
made geo-buttons and a cache camera. There's also a bonus cache
involved. All you have to do is try and figure out what the
ancients were saying (see
attached photo). Good luck!
