Geocache Description:


This is the final cache of the "Coconut Telegraph" Mystery Series that includes:

Kingfish (GC7RGC1), Salute to Veterans (GC7RGD2), Trees of Memory (GC13BZJ), Gulfside (GC7RC93), and Skyway View (GC13C04).  To find this cache, you must collect the clues from the other caches and complete the formula below.

 

Grassy Point is a 34-acre Preserve located along the mangrove shoreline of beautiful Anna Maria Island.  It was bought by the State of Florida for Holmes Beach in 2001 and had simple stipulations: preserve the sensitive area, protect species on the site, and provide a way that people can enjoy the area passively.

 

"It's a place to relax and enjoy and step back and drop your shoulders", said Holmes Beach Mayor, Bob Johnson.  There is a boardwalk system winding throughout the mangroves taking you right to Grassy Point Bayou.  It shell walkway was designed "so that you can walk along this little pathway and look down and wink at a creature that's winking back at you", he said.

 

Future plans involve creating kayak trails, additional elevated boardwalks, picnic shelters, and continued clearing of non-native vegetation. 

 

The cache container is a full-size clear plastic Ammo Box and was initially stuffed full of fun trinkets and swag.  Don't forget to sign the log, take something, & leave something of equal or greater value.
