GatorBruce Is Out Standing In The Field Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Burgi Dad: Gator Bruce was an outstanding individual. We're glad we got to place this one while he could still enjoy it but everything must come to an end. Rest in Peace Gator Bruce, and also this cache.

Geocache Description:

Located on beautiful Honeymoon Island. Halfway to GatorBruce’s archived Honeymoon Point cache, which he said was “an easy 2.2 mile round trip walk to a truly gorgeous vista.” This, then, will be half that distance, half that gorgeous… and half as good!

Recently, Burgi Dad and I facilitated the St. Pete Pier Aquarium's GeoCaching Beach Bash. Basically, it was a GXing 101 class. This was the second or third time both our eagle-eyed, spotter-daughter, CSI Crue (that’s Cache Scene Investigator Crue to you) , and long-time GXing friend, GatorBruce , came to serve as our real-life examples that GXing is a multi-generational equal opportunity hobby/obsession, offering something for everyone.

GatorBruce and CSI Crue, sweet spirits

 

One of the last caches visited, placed temporarily for the class, was called Outstanding In The Field, because we wanted each of our students to feel they were outstanding… and they were! Afterwards, in our closing Q & A session, it was actually GatorBruce who answered the most questions. That in itself was pretty outstanding! So, here we are, placing the same cache in its permanent location with just a slight change in name and description.

Talked to Park Ranger K about this cache and she knows GXers will respect the area’s natural environment, if not make it better than we found it. No bushwhacking required.

While searching for this cache, be aware of GeoMuggles and other curious eyes. Your best bet is to act like you're taking pictures. Nothing else but CITOing will deflect a curious GeoMuggle's attention quicker than that.
