Geocache Description:


Beluthahatchee Park

DO NOT PARK AT ROADSIDE, GO DOWN THE PATH & FIND THE PARKING LOT.

The former homestead of activist, conservationist, and author Stetson Kennedy is a magical place that is now a St. Johns County park.

Beluthahatchee Lake was created in 1945 when Mill Creek was impounded, creating a natural basin surrounded by high bluffs.

Stetson Kennedy created this refuge among the live oaks, magnolia, cypresses, and saw palmetto, where ospreys, eagles, tri-colored heron and countless other native wildlife could thrive.  “Beluthahatchee” is defined by noted author Zora Neale Hurston as a mythical “Florida Shangri-La, where all unpleasantness is forgiven and forgotten,” and Kennedy certainly saw the site that way.

 

Head down the path, when you get where you’re going you won’t need math.

A cute little birdhouse & one final clue, you can push if you want to, but I would PULL 2.
