Another Cache on the Coral Gables Waterway.
A small camo'd cache (please close securely after)
Come quietly and will see lots of wildlife. Must have been a dozen Turtles sunning themselves when I placed original. Additionally watch for Gators, Crocs, Manatee, Snakes, Birds and numerous other hidden wildlife right next to a busy road (depending on your approach). I suggest the less busy one. Ok probably not Crocs or Gators but you never know ;-)
Coral Gables is named the City Beautiful for many reasons, a primary one being its wealth of greenways, open spaces, waterways and parks that truly make it a garden city.
Perhaps no city of its size in the world has inspired so many books and articles, all lauding the subtropical beauty of George Merrick’s planned community.
• Waterways: "Forty Miles of Waterfront" was a familiar slogan in Coral Gables Corporation advertisements for the master planned city. Developer George Merrick brought in gondolas to ferry people from the Biltmore Hotel to the blue waters of Biscayne Bay. The gondoliers are gone, but canoeists, kayakers and boaters know that a spectacular eight-mile waterway cuts west from Biscayne Bay to the intersection of Cartagena Plaza. It then curves north, paralleling Riviera Drive on its way to the Biltmore Golf Course. It also connects the waterway’s western loop through the University of Miami Campus and the Mahi Waterway. The Coral Gables Waterway of today has limestone walls that rise up to 20 feet or more at the crossing beneath the LeJeune Road bridge.
and for those still reading here is a joke:
There once was a baby elephant and a baby turtle drinking from a river deep in the jungle. For no reason, the turtle reaches over and bites the elephant's tail, really hard.
Years and years later, the same elephant, now grown up, is by the same river, having a drink with his giraffe buddy, when the same turtle that bit him on the tail all those years ago wanders up to the river.
The elephant rears back a leg and kicks the turtle as hard as he can, sending him flying way off into the jungle. "Why did you do that?" the giraffe asks. "When we both were babies, that turtle bit my tail for no reason," the elephant replied. "Wow! You must have a good memory!" exclaimed the giraffe.
"Yep!" said the elephant. "I've got Turtle-Recall."
