If you hike to this cache, especially if you follow the shore
from (GCJ44W) "ski beach",
please bring a bag and practice some CITO on the way back. There is
a trash can halfway back to parking near GC213NY, "No Trash Area, "CITO"
please!!". Volunteers help keep the beach clear of trash, but I'm
betting there will always be something fresh to grab along the path
to this cache. Also be aware that I encountered a beach-side bee
condo in a decaying palm trunk while hiking to this cache. Please
don't disturb them.
When placed, this was a pleasant walk, thanks to efforts of
others out here with machetes, but your results may vary. They must
have been using those machetes to drink coconut juice found along
the path. Thankfully they left behind the meat, from which coconut
milk is derived, and the husks for the local wildlife to enjoy.
Coconut juice is an electrolytically balanced sterile beverage,
however it loses it's nutritive benefits quickly when exposed to
air and will ferment. (see related page)
I do usually make a point of being aware of potential survival
food sources, but do you ever actually forage for snacks while
caching? Do you carry a tool for bushwhacking, or coconut cracking,
etc.? What? Why? Why not? Improvise?
