Geocache Description:

A two stage multi in Green Swamp West. Bike or horse accessible on two track, or can be hiked. Around 4.5 miles as I usually do it. This is an offset cache, you need the cache description to generate the coords for the ammo can. The can is ~ 200 feet from the first stage, tucked up against an oak.

The first stage coords are for a sign on the southeast side of the old Foster (sometimes called Henley) bridge. You'll need to get a couple of numbers from it to fill in the blanks:
Stage 2 N28° 23.88(A-3) W82° 07.9B5.
A=the last digit of the Broad Street address - 3
B=the first digit zip code

If you're standing at the sign looking across the river at 212° you'll see the roadway to the Old Henley place. The bridge was lost in the last 20 years or so. If water levels are low enough the pilings can still be seen, and some bridge structure on both banks. There are two old boat ramps along this stretch.

Green Swamp West is closed to recreational users during the hunting Special Opportunity Hunts. See www.myfwc.com for hunt dates.
