High Mountain discount Camping Supply
Mark Teague, owner of the online store, High Mountain Discount Camping Supply, grew up spending weekends with the Boy Scouts of America and the Royal Ambassadors and went on many hunting trips to boot. He has hiked on the Appalachian Trail. When Mark's son was in the Boy Scouts, Mark and his wife Colleen helped out as Den Leader and Assistant Scoutmaster at Troop 203 and 323. They went on many camping trips with the Boy Scouts. They assisted other boys and their parents on what to buy for camping trips. They would help with coastal clean-up and Eco restoration projects He is a active Geocacher, and thinks that it is a good way to get out on a hike. They spend many hours out in the woods even if it is just a short hike in the Cypress Creek Well Fields.
His dad started the Friendly Gun Shop in Tampa, FL, where he helped his dad. Mark opened High Mountain Discount Camping Supply to help people to find the best camping gear they can buy. You can find backpacks to crossbows at the Teague's online camping discount store. It is a natural extension of the family's passion for the outdoors. High Mountain Discount Camping Supply is based in Central Florida. The local favourite place to get outdoors is the Conner Preserve. It's in Land O' Lakes, in an area set aside for water management since 2003. The landscape includes marshes, cypress sloughs, pine flatwoods and some steep sand hill ridges. It’s a great area for horseback riding, hiking, camping, and even model airplane flying.

A little about Geocacheing
The rules are very simple you can use anything as a container to house your cache. It can be placed almost any where. Caches have been placed in the water where you have to use SCUBA gear to get to them, or on a cliff that you have to use climbing gear to get to. You can not bury it, but you can cover it with leaves, or mulch. When you place it you have to get permission to place it if it is on private property, or parks. Alot of caches are placed in easements, parking lots, parks, or places in public domaine. They need to be 1/4 mile apart. You can not use a cache to advertise a business. You are not soppose to put food in a cache. That will atract animals to the cache.

Cypress Creek Well Fields
Most of my caches are in the Cypress Creek well fields. This is not far from my house. It is 7400 acres in Central Pasco County just east of land O’ Lakes. The primary access is at Parkway Boulevard .07 miles North of Pine View Middle School. There is a West Gate at the West end of Pump Station Road Which is off Ehren Cutoff (CR583) halfway between CR 52 and US 41. These gates have parking there. The only other gate is at the East end of Pump Station Road and at the end of Quail Hollow Boulevard. There is no parking at this gate. It is open from sunrise to sunset. and there is no rest rooms or water to drink.
There is two campgrounds on the South end. One that is about 3/4 miles in on the right. Then there is one that is about 3/4 miles in just off the main trail another 1/4 mile. They have portable toilets at both of these and sometimes water if the hand pump works. There is two separate areas I consider them a North and a South area. The south area is off of Parkway boulevard and no other official way in. Although I have seen what looks like a new way in off of CR 54 but have not seen anything official about it. Then there is the North end where there is 2 ways in here at both ends of Pump Station Road. The North end has no water at all. It has a paved road that runs through it. When my son was in Boy Scouts we would Hike in with backpacks. From Quail Hollow Boulevard and and work our way down to the South end to the camp grounds. We could only do this during the dry season as it would be a muddy wet trip during the wet season. I would like to see a trail from the North to the South end although at this time there is not one. At this time there is 82 Caches in the Cypress Creek Well Fields.
That is 44 caches on the North end and 38 caches on the South end. It would be a great journey to get all caches in the North end or the South end in one day. I think impossible to do all 82 Caches in in one day. As they do give you the GREAT GRAND TOUR of Cypress Creek. Some are quite a challenge to get to. One is aproxmley 11 miles from start to finish although you can do other cashes along the way. One is in a swampy area and would be a muddy, wet trip to get to. Then there are others that are cut off by canals. That are not on the map and don’t show in the satellite image on Google maps. They are all good caches. Some are straight forward and some are a real challenge. But there is a lot to see there. The Deer and Turkey are plentiful. You will Hike through Oak hammocks, Cypress Heads, Palmettos Flats, grass fields, and Swamp. So if you try it be ready to work for all the caches you get. Once you get them you deserve them.

A cache along the hillsborough river
This is a cache along the Hillsborough river. It is hard to believe that there are, houses all around here. This is looking at the river. All I needed was a hammock it was really quiet and cool. I could tell you where the cache is, but, that would spoil the fun. It took me about 10 minutes to find the cache. The cache was great and a lot of fun. It was also a place that I did not know about and I have lived here all my life. On these I will post a photo that does not give the hiding place away. It will show the beauty of the place. In closing, I will just say get out there and have some fun. Go Geocaching!

Geocaching
Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.
