A micro in a seldom used place.
This is a series of caches placed at various places on Pine Island, to acquaint you with our piece of “Old Florida”. It is sometimes referred to as “The Forgotten Island” because of the absence of big developments, high rise condos and other types of modern day developments.
Pine Islanders have strived to slow the ever changing cycle of urban development that is so prevalent in all of Florida. We like the Island as it is, a place to live, work and play in harmony with nature, among the Caloosa Indian mounds, and amid the steadfast Mangroves that keep our island together.
This cache is located near a small preserve that looks forgotten but is a part of Calusa history. Please take time to walk this forgotten piece of ground and if you pay close attention, you will see an indentation in the ground running across the property. This barely recognizable landmark was once a part of the canal dug by the Calusas to traverse the island. When first dug by the Calusas this canal was about 30 feet wide and 6 or 7 feet deep and was used to connect Pineland to Matlacha Pass. Now only a shallow depression remains.
