Last
year, Cacheapalooza boasted a weekend to remember for all who
participated. From caching, campfire laughs, baseball games, and
kayak races to the emotional gathering atop the five-story Jonathan
Dickinson overlook tower to watch the launch of NASA's space
shuttle, Cacheapalooza was more than a walk in the park. This year,
we are pleased to announce that RNRGRL and her family will give
FootTrax the opportunity to cache and socialize during
Cacheapalooza as they agreed to host Cacheapalooza Two.
The number of cachers who participated in this annual event last
year was overwhelming. In addition, the support you gave Club Scrub
exemplified the generosity and selflessness of you as cachers and
the very premise of our sport. Rest assured, RNRGRL is currently
gathering prizes for this year's event. With all the events
planned, foods to be fed, and prizes to be won, remember to bring
your GPS and hiking sticks because this year, we promise to
surpass the number of caches hidden and found last
year.
We Trampled our Goal this year:
131
Caches Hidden
A
special thanks goes out to
Colenixbone for helping
us reach our goal this year by donating 20+ ammo
cans.

The Loxahatchee River, named a National Wild and
Scenic River in 1985, winds its way through the park, passing under
a canopy of centuries-old cypress trees. The river has a timeless
beauty all its own, "possessing remarkable ecological and
recreational values which are unique in the United States.
" Legends are nothing new to the east coast of Florida. In 1696, a
Quaker merchant named Jonathan Dickinson shipwrecked off the coast
in the area of Hobe Sound. Dickinson, his family and other
survivors, made an arduous journey along the coast to St.
Augustine. His journal, describing encounters with Native Americans
and Spanish settlers, gives valuable information about life in
early Florida.
You can read more about the Jonathan Dickinson Shipwreck
here.
The 44-passenger Loxahatchee Queen II takes visitors up the
Loxahatchee River to the pioneer homesite of Trapper Nelson. Nelson
came to the area in the 1930s and lived off the land by trapping
and selling furs. He quickly became famous as the "Wildman of the
Loxahatchee." After his death in 1968, the state acquired his land,
preserving his home and grounds for future generations to
enjoy.
 
During World War II, the United States Army operated a top-secret
radar training school here, named Camp Murphy. The technology of
radar was in its infancy, and the men that were trained here were
sent out around the world. Over 1,000 school and support buildings,
speedily constructed and heavily camouflaged, became home to over
6,000 soldiers and officers. Yet after only two years of operation,
in November of 1944 Camp Murphy was deactivated.
You can see a Sky view picture of Camp Murphy 1942 here.
Following the deactivation, the property was transferred on June
9, 1947, from the U.S. government to the State of Florida for a new
state park. Jonathan Dickinson State Park was opened to the public
in 1950.
