2000 Finds
#2000 Put Down that GPS! - Part 6 by Jakesnake12013 & USFDad12013
Hint: Tube on the guardrail along Balm-Riverview road.
|
Balm-Riverview
& Brandon, FL
- November 8, 2014 |
Needing something unique for #2000, we decided to do a QRC code puzzle, since Frogwarts has his own code for his novels. It gave us a unique solve for the cords, but turned out to be an easy find.
Cache Location |
The Clue to the Find |
This is Frogwart's
(James Paddock) QRC code
for Desert Bookshelf -
the publishing company
for his action-suspense novels
If you enjoy reading, try James'
Friends with Books
page |
[log] Since Frog has his own QRC code as an author, we decided this would be a perfect puzzle for our #2000! TFTH |
#2001 Blind Faith by Jakesnake12013
Hint: Film canister high in the bole of the tree.
|
|
We had a great chat with the care-taker, who gave permission for the cache; he enjoys watching the “hunts”. Without Frog, this would have been a DNF for Bear; she’s too short to reach it.
 |
Look very closely at the bottom of the bole. |
[log] Frog was tall enough. Log too wet to sign. |
#2002A Little Commerce by im 4_life
Hint: Magnetic underneath the mailbox.
|
|
Clue of 6931 would have been appropriate; we visited the tiny bookstore and thrift store for fun while we were here.
[log] Took a "duh" on this one (because of the cords). Find goes to Frog. |
#2003 MicroInvasion 274 - Decapitated by MicroManiacs (Driven by quantity not quality)
Hint: The decapitated (dead) palm tree fronds finally gave up this one.
|
|
We dug for a long time for this one.

Frog scored the find here after we both circled the live palm tree numerous times; the camo was excellent.

#2005 home sweet home by footballchris
Hint: Typical LPC
|

We weren’t sure what was happening at the site, since Home Depot workers were clustered around a red pickup that drove off as we came up.
[log] Typical quick one.TFTNUMBERS. |
#2006 Don't Cry For Me Bloomingdale by RBCT109
Hint: LPC
|
|
Had muggles putting air in their tires who paid us no attention as we scored a find at the WAWA; a tiny lizard ran over Frog's fingers as he picked up the cache.

#2102Go-Pher It! by kingnonna
Hint: Plastic container behind tree
|
|
We missed the V in the trail to go to cache #3, so ended up at the final. Tried bushwacking by GPS back to #3, but the brush and nasty vines were too thick. In the end, we ended up backtracking to the V and taking the other trail to the #3 cache. It turned out awesome, since we saw 7 more wild armadillos on the way!
[log] Missed #3 but scored on this one. Will pick up #3 on the way back. TF a lovely winter walk |
#2103On the Way to Go-Pher It #2 by kingnonna
Hint: Blue square gallon container behind mossy tree
|
|
On our trip back and forth between caches 3 and 4 in this series, we came upon 7 more armadillos who were very busy rooting for bugs and grubs. One little guy was so busy he didn't notice Frogwarts taking pictures, even though the camera made a noise with each click of the shutter. All of a sudden, he looked up, realized he was a foot from James; his eyes got really wide, he jumped up in the air, reveresed direction mid-air, and toke off "like a scared rabbit" as they say. So funny!
[log] Saw 7 more close up armadillos on the back here. TFTseries |

Hint: Large brown quart cylinder at base of tree.

[log] Cache intact and in place. Wet fork was packed mud so an easy traverse TF a delightful hike Sadly we then walked all the way to the third cache – Gilley’s Branch to a DNF. A recent tree fall across the river has been cut down so cache may have disappeared at that time. We used both original and adjusted cords with no luck.

Hint: Tiny bison in crook of tree
|
US301 in Riverview, FL
- December 30, 2014 |
[log] Well I brought the Frog along with me to give this one another try since the cords are so bouncy and he generally has sharper eyes. Of course he walked the cords around for a minute or so, determined that he needed to be in the middle of the various trees, walked up to one and found it the first place he looked. The log was waterlogged so bad that all the ink had faded, so we replaced it with a fresh one. Great camo hide. Thanks. |
#2113 The River-View by Smiling Little Perch

#2117 Little Manatee Whispers by infiniteMPG
Hint: A camo lock-n-lock hidden extremely well under dead palmetto fronds near a regular 2 x4 board
|
|
We enjoyed this series of 4 ( 3 finds and 1 DNF) immensely; hiking in the Florida “outback” is so beautiful. This cache is remote enough (?? only a 1/2 mile hike on a flat trail) that it is only found roughly once a year. We were the first finders since 1/29/2012!
We left a hint for the next yearly cacher on the board nearby |
 |
[log] I think we examined every palmetto within 50 ft, then finally Bear scored the well deeply hidden find. Contents were dry with the cache in fine condition and right on cords by "board feet" . Great hike, day and cache. Thanks!! |

#2118 Numbers: American Family Holidays Challenge by Hawkhaven adopted by Grand Illusion Crew
Hint: A bison on the back side of the metal staircase
|
Ruskin, FL - January 3, 2015 |
A tricky “easy cache” because the cords are off more than 50ft to the North of the cache. We finished qualifying for this cache last Thursday by caching on the last of the 7 standard American Holidays: New Years, Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
[log] See bookmark list for our quals. Cords are definitely more than 50' too far north. |

Notes: Ending a caching hiatus of over a week again!! We had such a lovely hiking day in the preserve doing a new set of 11 caches set out by ZoweeMindy to join her Earthcache. The weather was warm and sunny with a cool breeze, the path was wide and well-marked, and wildlife was abundant everywhere - raccoons, osprey busy fishing, turkey vultures touring the skies, ducks busy diving for plunder, and butterflies sunning themselves for our enjoyment. What a great venture out we had in the Cockroach Bay Preserve! |

1) A drowned river valley estuary of brackish water formed when a fresh water lake met the bay.
2) We saw a huge river delta area covered with bushes, a marsh area with seagrass and 4 bird species, and shallow open water – both fresh and brackish.
3) The homes and commericial construction company site contribute to polluted run-off and the power plant in the distance contributes both run-off and heat to the estuary.
4) One only has to look at the wide diversity of animal and plant life living here to know why it needs to be preserved, as well as protecting the coastline from erosion.

Brooker Creek Preserve
Tarpon Springs, FL

Had a marvelous walk in this preserve, gaining info for the Earthcache log and observing all the varieties of plant species in the preserve. Wildlife, however, appeared to be taking a mid-day snooze.
1) You can reduce water use, recycle motor oil, dispose of toxic chemicals properly, compost your yard waste, and use drought-tolerant plants and permeable paving materials in landscaping with less use of fertilizer and pesticides to promote good watershed health. You can also work with your neighbors to develop habitats for native wildlife and plants that include food, shelter, water and nesting.
2) Many plants depend on fire to open seed pods and cones and aid in the spread of new plants. Fires also burn away dead vegetation, replenish nutrients, clear the soil for seed germination and stimulate new growth by opening areas to sunshine.
3) Swamps absorb rainfall, recharge aquifers and control floods.
