Multi, Mystery and other off-set caches are encouraged! The markers are made of aluminum and are not magnetic. Each marker has a unique number and the date it was placed which will be a great source for coordinates for a multi or mystery. If you place a multi or mystery cache and it will be a spoiler to post a picture of the marker on your cache page, you can email a picture of the marker to Shannon instead (see below). Any cache you place will be owned by you and maintenance will be your responsibility. Please do a little research before the event and choose which markers you want to claim. Here’s a link to the list of markers: http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/preservation/markers/markers_map.cfm There is no obligation to place a cache if you attend. Please join us for refreshments and a chance to meet other cachers, learn about caching and support historic preservation and education. Contact: Shannon O'Donnell, skodonnell@dos.state.fl.us, Historical Data Analyst, Florida Master Site File, Bureau of Historic Preservation, 850.245.6440 or 800.847.7278 Or via www.geocaching.com look up member FLHeritage. Eventually, the goal is to have a cache at or near every Historical Marker in the State of Florida. Look for markers with the state seal or the 3-palmed logo above. Don’t wait for this event if you want to place a cache. It's not limited to Leon County. Just remember, you are responsible for cache maintenance and all the usual cache placement rules apply (saturation, proximity to schools, ect).

The Florida football team will hold Verizon Wireless Football Fan Day on Sunday, Aug. 15 from 1 to 3 p.m. in the O’Connell Center.
Admission is free and the Gate One doors will open at 12:30 p.m.
Fans will be able to meet and get autographs from their favorite Gator players and coaches. The University Athletic Association will supply the 2010 Gator team posters for player autographs and cannot allow outside items to be brought in to the event due to NCAA compliance issues.
Due to the high demand for many of the players' and coaches' autographs, the lines will be monitored and closed to ensure that fans are not waiting for autographs with no chance of reaching the signing table by the event's conclusion.
The Bryan E. Kornblau Foyer, located in the James W. "Bill" Heavener Football Complex, will also be open from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. that afternoon. Fans will able to view the trophy cases and hi-definition televisions, displaying highlights from the Gators’ national championships in 1996, 2006 and 2008, as well as the three crystal national championship trophies. Also on display will be all three Heisman Trophies and tributes to the eight SEC Championships that the Gators have earned since 1991.
