Geocache Description:

Fort Hamilton has great views.  But to find this cache you must descend to the rain forest.

The disguised pill fob is behind a palm tree.  One of the signs in front says, "Sabal Causiarum Palmaceae".  Too small for a pen.
Fort Hamilton is a good place to refill your water bottle.  There is a bottle filling station -- not a water fountain -- near the bathrooms and one of the staircases that leads down to the "moat".  (It isn't a moat because it was never designed to hold water.  Military historians: please tell me the proper name.) Staircases will be locked in the evenings. Or one might be locked during the day for no apparent reason. There are two staircases. If you come down the hard way, turn left, go around one corner, walk until you are almost at the next. The tree is near the outer wall.
