+PurpleCatPaws Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 This week I'll be visiting my inlaws who live in The Villages, just south of Ocala. I've been studying maps and finding trails, running pocket queries and reading descriptions, but there is SO much information and I just don't have a lot of time! I'm hoping someone can recommend a place to spend 2-3 hours geocaching. I prefer easier caches with room for swag, preferably along a scenic path. A couple years ago we did the Carney Island caches, and that was *perfect*. Any suggestions for something similar? Very grateful for any help, Karen Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 You might enjoy the Greenway caches. https://www.geocaching.com/map/default.aspx?lat=29.06982&lng=-82.13417#?ll=29.06982,-82.13417&z=14 There are trailheads with designated parking, and there are places where you can simply pull off on a road side and pick up the trail. If you look at the Google map link from this cache http://coord.info/GC47ACP you'll see roadside pull off at the trail crossing. There's a nice trailhead, with restrooms at N 29° 03.530 W 082° 09.167 and caches along the trail in both directions. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Florida+Trail,+Ocala,+FL+34476/@29.0589138,-82.1529694,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x88e7d6e648b9c03b:0x285c4367307cdf04 Quote Link to comment
+Chazbo1948 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Don't know if you're still looking for some hiking/caching spots but there's a nice bike trail here in Pinellas county. It runs from Tarpon Springs south all the way to the St. Petersburg downtown waterfront and is called the Pinellas Trail. There's a lot of caches right along the trail and also a number of nice parks including Walsingham and Taylor that have a number of caches in them. Quote Link to comment
+gpsblake Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Do the fairy series in Ocala National Forest... All ammo cans if you like them simple. Here's a link to one of them on the series http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC4P1RT_silvermist-the-water-pixie Edited February 19, 2015 by gpsblake Quote Link to comment
