This cache is not for everyone, although monkeys don't have a spotter, all geocachers should.

For over 70 years, Rhesus Monkeys have lived along the banks of the Silver River in North Central Florida. The monkeys were introduced into the area by a tour boat operator in the 1930s. Spotting the monkeys can be a highlight of canoe trips in the Silver River State Park. The monkeys have lived a peaceful existence in the wild.
