Ground Zero not only contains a cache but it is a good place to observe a few things about the Cheasapeake Bay and surrounding lands.
According to Cheasepeake Living, the pavement you are standing on was not intended to be a parking lot but was instead paved by the State of Maryland to help watermen dry and repair their pound nets. If you look out on the water, you should be able to see some examples of pound netting. They are the stakes and sometimes the top of the nets sticking out of the water in the distance.
Not only can you see many waterfowl from here but in the nearby pine forests you might be able to spot the elusive Delmarva Fox Squirrel.
This formally endangered subspecies of the Fox Squirrel can typically only be found on the eastern shores of Maryland and Virginia. It looks very similar to the gray squirrels in your backyard but it's a little larger and very light gray in color.
If you look southwest to the horizon, you will see the Sharps Island Lighthouse. If it looks like it's leaning, then that's because it is! Ice in 1977 damaged the lighthouse and caused it to lean ever since.
And of course no trip to the Chesapeake Bay would be complete without a sighting of the legendary Chesapeake Bay seamonster, Chessie!
On to the cache: a fairly standard urban micro hide made a bit trickier to elude muggles and maybe a few geocachers. Log only, you'll need to bring your own pen. Please replace carefully and as you found it.
