 This has been a glorious day! We were up before dawn for a quick breakfast and a drive up US-41 to Fort Wilkins State Park to participate in their 9th Annual Geocaching Event. We had to learn a new technique in order to find the nine temporary caches inside the park. Although our phone had no cell signal, they still got GPS signal. So we used the compass in the geocaching app and navigated using coordinates! Doing it as a team made it a lot easier! Our favorite of the temporary finds were The Hosegow, hidden in a cell in the fort’s jail, and especially The Fishing Pier, a stainless steel tube hidden underwater! We also found a permanent cache hidden ingeniously within the cannon that graces the entrance to the park!
We took the shore road back pausing to take a photo of the northern terminus on US-41.
We were at the southern terminus in February  2013 when we drove US-1 through Miami.
We made more stops along the shore road to admire the incredible beauty of the coast.
 And a stop for some amazing Muffins at the monastery run Jampot Bakery. We wound up the evening gathered around our campfire in a can with our neighbor Marcie.
