You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
This is about a 2.8 mile hike (round trip) from Timberlake Pond. It doesn’t look like you can get much closer than that in a 2WD. Check it out on Google Earth. It’s an easy hike from the pond up to the first power line crossing. Then you’ll reach an area that’s off-limits to vehicles. You’ll go down a road with some pavement that leads to a bridge across the West Branch Creek. Then you’ll head west on a trail along the south side of the creek. The terrain will be unusually hilly for a Florida hunt. There are places where you can slide 30 feet or more all the way down to the creek if you lose your footing! But it’s usually possible to go up and get around the most treacherous spots. After walking along the creek, you’ll come to another power line crossing. The trail continues almost directly across from there. Then follow your GPS to the cache.
Bring water! Apply copious amounts of insect repellant! You may encounter snakes. Watch out for bugs, bears, boars, bombs, and bullets. Unlike Timberlake Pond, this IS a hunting area so wear Saftey Orange during hunting season!
