This is a Virtual Cache located in Big Cypress National Preserve. To claim this virtual cache take a picture of yourself beside the marker and post it on this cache page. Near this historical marker in 1936 the Governor held a meeting with the Seminole Indians. The Seminoles told the Governor that they just wanted to be left alone. The descendants of the Seminoles still live in the area. There are two museums nearby where you can learn more about them. One is the Miccosukee Cultural Center just 25 miles on east. The other is the Seminole Museum off I-75 on Snake Road. To learn more about this meeting go to this web site: www.miccosukeeseminolenation.com/pohoam-checkish.htm While in the area take time to enjoy the alligators and many birds. If you have time drive on east 5 miles to the Preserve Visitor Center. To learn more about the Preserve go to this web site: www.nps.gov/bicy/

Burgi Dad and I 
planned a four day Road Trip, the second to last installment of our South Florida Challenge Quest http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=c1002b89-d0e4-4ba6-a0d3-804c032850af , to coincide with the AWEsome CacheApalooza GeoEvent -
- probably one of the best GXing ideas we've had all year.
Taking our time, seeing what we want to see, meeting and greeting whoever we spot "in the wild," GXers or otherwise. Stopped here to have a conference with the Boy Scout (Ely 2 Orlando) TB and the Alligator Alley TB to decide whether to turn left or right. Off we go, ready for ANYthing! Have a blessed day. Happy caching ~~

Kat and I found this one while on our way to CacheApoloza and knocking off the last of our South Florida Challenge counties. Very interesting piece of history. Thanks for bringing us here.
