This cache is located on beautful Honeymoon Island State Park.
Located near the top of Florida's barrier island chain, Honeymoon Island is known as an important location for resting and foraging shorebirds. The white, sandy beach dunes extend to the northern tip of the island where flocks of birds typically feed. Nearby, Anclote Key Preserve State Park and Caladesi Island State Park also attract nesting shorebirds to thier pristine beaches.
The Osprey trail winds its way through the pine flatwoods portion of the island. Many animals reside here, such as gopher tortoises, raccoons and eastern diamondback rattlesnakes. Large osprey nests located in the top of barren pine snags may be seen. Great horned owls nest here in late winter and sometimes the chicks can be observed peeking over the edge of thier nest or flapping thier wings as they learn to fly.
The island received its name in 1939 when New York developer Clinton Washburn purchased the island and, together with LIFE magazine, held a contest for newly married couples. The winners of the contest would stay in thatched bungalows in sunny Florida for a two week "honeymoon," giving the island its name.
This cache is located about a half mile (approximately) from parking, just off of the Osprey Trail. Depending on conditions at the time, you might be able to see the cache from the trail...if you know what you are looking for.
Please re-hide as found and keep some of mother natures camoflage around it. This is our first hide and we are very excited about it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Please remember to bring your own writting instrument as this is a small cache with log only and a dollar bill for FTF. It is large enough for small TB's and Pathtags.
Update-On May 15th 2022, this was upgraded to an ammo box. Please place back exactly where and how you found it.
