Geocaching has become a favorite way for my wife and me to add a little extra adventure to every trip. Whether we’re exploring a state park, visiting a small town, or taking a scenic back road, we always check the geocaching app to see what hidden treasures might be nearby.
The geocaches listed below were found during our travels throughout Florida. We hope our cache finds, photos, and adventures inspire you to get outside, explore somewhere new, and maybe discover a few hidden treasures of your own.
New to geocaching? Be sure to check out my beginner’s guide to learn how this modern-day treasure hunt works. If you’re already a geocacher, feel free to send a friend request to Camper92 on Geocaching.com.

Kaelyn’s Kache

On to the second one at this location. See below for the first one. We scoured the bushes looking for this and finaly found it. We were trying not to be to obvious because someone was watching us. Turns out he thought we were looking for berries…lol. He came over and showed us where to find the berries and he even ate one!!! After he left we signed the log and moved on.
Black Friday Bird Hunt
Type Of Cache: Bison Tube In A Bird House
Location: Kiwanis Island Park
City: Merritt Island
We were out riding around checking out the area when we found Kiwanis Island Park on Merritt Island. We decided to see if there were any caches here. Well what do you know. There are 2!!!. This one took us a bit to find. We found the holder with the tie wrap but there was nothing in it. We looked around on the ground and found the birdhouse and connected tube. We put in back together and re-hung it up.
