The Trackers' Treasure Trove

Before you really go on an adventure, make sure you've done your homework. Researching articles from this particular treasure is always one of my favorite things to do. Sometimes, you need to visit a place in order to really understand something. This museum is one of my favorite places.

What is this?
Can you guess?

A journal is another kind of treasure. Here, you'll find a cyber-journal! Don't tell my sister, but I discovered one of the best kept "secrets" in Florida is that New Smyrna is a reservoir of history encompassing thousands of years. Bring a lamp and see what they've dug up!

This treasure reminds me of a Florida Lighthouse. Check out this site to help foster a greater appreciation of Florida's lighthouses. Known also as bird's-eye views, perspective maps, and aero views, these maps are nonphotographic representations of cities portrayed as if viewed from above at an oblique angle. Can you answer the riddle of my treasure?

In Florida, not all archeology takes place on land. There's a lot about this state that has to do with water, from swimming, to boating, to surfing, to... well, I think you'll figure out my treasure's riddle. See a glimpse of Florida's facts and history, name origins, governor portraits and biographies, state symbols... all the little things that combined, make a great picture of our state!

This is my newest treasure. Smile or strike a pose... you never know, you may become a moment in history! I trust that you have brought a goodly supply of candles and hardtack along. There is much to investigate here and many sea miles to travel. All in all, weather permitting, it should be a great trip!

Smile!
