Congratulations to RRob13 for the FTF on this cache, and for leaving a path tag. See my other 2 caches. The MULTI is not difficult, and you get to see a nice gazebo.
PARK HOURS ARE 6:30 AM TO DUSK Must use the University Ave entrance to take advantage of the close parking.
P.E.A.R. is an acronym for Palatlakaha Environmental and Agricultural Reserve. (pa-lat-la-KA-ha, slight emphasis on second sylable, major on 4th)
When you are hunting for this cache, please take notice of the beautiful gardens and the colorful wildlife murals on display in the Observation kiosk/shelter. This is where you are headed anyway. Kids will enjoy picking out the animals in the mural. There are A LOT of them. It would be a great game for them.
Bordered by the Palatlakaha River on the North and West this area holds a vast amount of wildlife and plants for the avid birder or naturalist to discover. Along the trails, more than 180 species of birds including Northern Bobwhite, Eastern Bluebird, and Eastern Meadowlark and 40 species of butterflies like Zebra Swallowtail, Red-spotted Purple, and Gulf Fritillary have been found, as well as snakes like Eastern Hognose, Rough Green, and Eastern Coachwhip (remember all snakes are protected in the park), Gopher Tortoises, Bobcat, Coyote, River Otters, American Alligator, and many dragonflies.
The location of this hide will NOT require any bushwacking or trampling of plants.
Respect all of the plants and creatures in the park and all park rules.
