PLANNING

I put a set of 4 geocaches in my GPS unit that were all in the central tourist area of St. Augustine. The idea was to try for these while touristing the main attractions.

OUTCOME

This was my 3rd search of the day. This was in the midst of the tourist trap section of town.
Here is my posting to this geocaching.com website:

We enjoyed visiting the Basilica as well as noting the name of the colony that was commemorated by the statue. TFTC. email on the way.

Here are 2 photos:
