This cache was originally placed at one of the Otis Smith

been auctioned off and most have been removed from their locations.
Those of you who have already found that cache can come find it
again as it is now a new listing! Minus the Cat of course!
The cache container is now different then the one that it started
with. If you have found it in the past and would like to find it
again, please do!
Keep on Caching!!

History: Friendship Fountain is located in St. Johns River Park
(a/k/a Friendship Park), on the south bank of the river, just west
of Main Street. When the park opened in 1965, the Fountain of
Friendship (named at the suggestion of a Rotary Club member because
one of the Club's cardinal principles is friendship) was the
world's largest and tallest fountain, capable of spraying 17,000
gallons of water a minute to a height of 120 feet. Accentuated by
colored lights at night, it soon became a popular tourist
destination and local recreation site. Currently, both the Museum
of Science and History and a popular restaurant with its own marina
occupy portions of the original park property. The park provides a
wonderful view of downtown Jacksonville and access to the Southbank
Riverwalk that opened in 1985. In addition, the Jacksonville
Maritime Museum is located on the Riverwalk, adjacent to the
northeast corner of the park.
