Location: Everglades National Park
Nearest City: Miami/Homestead
Series: Florida Fish
Clues:
Head deep into the park towards the land of pink birds. Those who
believe that he died for their sins will get the point. However, it
will be your blood that is spilled if you fail to take my warning.
The mosquitos are as big as birds and so thick they turn day into
night. An exaggeration perhaps, but you might not think so if go
there. So you have three choices. You could go in the Florida winter
(which is Dec and Jan) and hope for the best. You could apply large
amounts of "Deep Woods Off" (or something else with at least 20%
DEET) which works relatively well against the winged vampires. Or you
could make a dash for it and have Red Cross meet you when you get
back out with an IV blood line setup ;-)
Now if you find the trail and I haven't discouraged you from
entering, make your way through the first set of woods. You will then
open to a large marsh which you must cross. Go through the second set
of woods and then cross a very small marsh to the third set of woods.
Just inside the third set of woods you will see a tree to your right.
Check it out, and get out while you can ;-)

Nice boxes Eric! And to think I was just down there last month :-(.
I did hide a box down in Southern FL too, but am not ready to publish
the clues yet. will be forthcoming though.

John,
Too bad you hadn't put up your South Florida box clue yet. I would
really have liked to look for it. I did get to visit the one in Ft
Lauderdale. Hopefully I'll catch yours in a month or so next time I
get down there. For anyone who plans to visit mine in the Everglades
prepare for a day trip (total there and back) from Miami. They are
really out in BFE (Backwoods Florida Everglades) ;-)

Well, right now it's just an empty Tupperware. I still have to carve
the stamp, then send it down there with a little notebook... then I
can publish the clues.
