What's so Pfunny About Pfouts
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
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.
In an area once known as St. James on-the-Gulf, between current day 5th & 6th Avenues and Palm Avenue, there once stood the three story frame San Carlos Hotel containing 50 guest rooms and a dining room that could seat 100 people. This place was the social hub of Pine Island in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, and remained so until one fateful night when an accidental fire burned the grand building to the ground. Also this area was once home to a rope factory using local grown sisal hemp. This plant was located in the area that is now Palm Avenue. However this venture failed soon after it began operations
