Geocache Description:


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 hidden in an area known as “Masters Landing”. During the 1920’s this area on both sides of Stringfellow Road was planted in citrus groves. Warehouses and docks were built along the Matlacha Pass
Waterfront where the citrus was hauled down to the dock and loaded on barges at “Masters Landing” for transport to Fort Myers. The buildings and citrus are long gone but now the area supports a Lee County Electric Coop substation, water sewage treatment plant, palm tree nurseries and a free mulch pile.
