Geocache Description:


Calling itself a "living museum", the Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve on the island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands was created in 1992 by an act of Congress.

Together with the government of the islands, the Park Service preserves not only historical sites like the only known site where members of the Columbus expedition actually set foot on territory now under the control of the United States, it also protects vast pristine environments like mangrove forests and coral reefs.


Of interest, Columbus did not always have a peaceful time in the area. On his second voyage, a group of natives confronted the Columbus expedition and a fight shortly ensued. This marks the first time natives of the New World resisted European advancement.
