Geocache Description:

Ammo can located at the Swamp Buggy track in Naples, FL. Terrain 1.5 because of possible mud. it is outside the track fenceline, no need to climb over the fence!

In the early 1900s, Swamp Buggies were used to get around SW Florida. Boys being boys, they started racing them. The first track area was where Naples Community Hospital stands today.

Back in the day, the winner received a turkey and a shotgun--today they race for cash! This is the only place in the world you will see organized Swamp Buggy Races. The organized sport has been a Naples tradition for 56 years!

This cache is approved by the board of directors and everyone is aware of the location. If the office is open, you can even stop and say hi to Sandy who works in there.

THIS CACHE WILL BE DISABLED ON RACE WEEKENDS DUE TO VERY HIGH MUGGLE RACE FAN TRAFFIC. That's Thursday through Sunday, the last weekend of January, the first weekend of March and the last weekend of October.

However, the week before, you MAY find some comp tickets...

Original contents are:
2 rubber snakes
A monster truck DVD
A pin
A pair of sunglasses
2 travel bugs, including the newly activated Racing Bug
1 Alaska caching geocoin
1 Everglades National Park geocoin NOT to be removed from the cache.
Log and pen.
Probably more things I've forgotten.

Have fun! Get muddy!
