This Geocache is located on The National Key Deer Wildlife Refuge, which was established in 1957 to protect and preserve Key deer and other wildlife resources in the Florida Keys. The refuge consists of approximately 9,200 acres of land that includes pine rockland forests, tropical hardwood hammocks, freshwater wetlands, salt marsh wetlands, and mangrove forests. These natural communities are critical habitat for hundreds of endemic and migratory species including 17 federally-listed species.
Stop by the Refuge Visitor Center on your way to this Geocache for a checkoff list of bird species, and other helpful information like how to identify poisonwood! The Visitor Center is located in the Big Pine Key Winn Dixie Shopping Plaza on Key Deer Blvd, just north of the light on US1. You can also call at (305)872-0774 There once was a gator named Allig Who lived in a place called Blue Hole. Some people fed him while others they swam But most of the water was his dinner bowl. So Allig grew bigger with each passing week And no longer called his visitors Sir. He mistook a young miss for his usual fish And one morning before breakfast Allig-ate-her. Alligators are wild animals and should be treated as such. Swimming or feeding the alligators is prohibited for your own protection. PLEASE BE ADVISED: ONLY REFUGE STAFF MAY PLACE CACHES ON REFUGE LANDS. ANY ILLEGAL CACHES WILL BE REMOVED. It is NOT necessary to leave the trail to find this cache!!! You will not touch poisonwood if you stay on the path.
