Geocache Description:

This cache is in beautiful El Portal within the bird sanctuary (you will most likely see peacocks when you visit). It is on a small hill that serves as a little park within this residential neighborhood. Bring a picnic, or just walk n' grab.

(From the El Portal Village website) The Indian Mound is one of the highest points in Miami-Dade and its history dates back to the year 600 when ancient Tequesta Indians migrated and settled at the Mound while passing by on the Little River. The Mound was one of the few areas above water. It was actually six to eight feet higher than it is presently. Miami-Dade County declared the Indian Mound a historic landmark in the 1920s. It was the first such archeological site to carry this honor in the County.

Bring your own pencil or pen, please!
