This cache is dedicated to my good friend rbmotmot. rbmotmot is a man of many talents and is one of the very few people that I have met here that when you ask him where he is from he can say "here". When you ask him anything about South Florida or a wildlife question, you can count on getting a correct answer. I have enjoyed caching with him and the eight days that we spent on the Colorado river rafting through the Grand Canyon.
This is one of a series of caches hidden in the Picayune Strand State Forest. Depending on what time of the that you visit this area, you could be walking in water anywhere from ankle to knee deep. To do this series you need to be prepared to wade, walk, and climb for several miles.
The area that you will be going through is a cypress forest. Cypress trees do not grow in elevated areas, they like low lying areas with lots of rain. You may see bears, Florida panthers, water moccasins, and eastern diamond rattlesnakes.
Please don’t forget to pay the Iron Ranger located in the parking area.
