Geocache Description:


…the island of Atlas. Hidden deep under the surface is a legend that waits for an age of explorers who are brave and clever enough to venture into the lost city. There, a secret is concealed, a secret that could potentially change the course of the Earth as we know it. Recently, archaeologists along with the help of researchers and scientists have uncovered a way describing the steps to reach Atlantis. Take on this journey to find the mysterious power, but beware for a power, so great, it could be used to improve or destroy our world forever…


The Oceanic Research Conservation Academics Association (O.R.C.A.A.) has been surveying and exploring the oceans for over 100 years. Discovering a new species or two every week in the depths of the ocean has become a common occurrence. Recently though, some scuba divers have found fragments of what seems to be the remains of an ancient civilization. Atlantis. O.R.C.A.A. uses high-tech radar to pick up the pieces of clues that have traces of Atlantis within them and they post their findings for explorers who are up to the challenge to investigate. An Explorer’s Log is at every fragmented clue to keep record and track of every adventurer who has made the trek. Make sure you sign it with your name and the date of the find!

Crabs are found in all of the world's oceans and can be found also in fresh water and on land in tropical environments. They are covered with an exoskeleton which is made of chitin and have a protective pair of claws. They are known to walk sideways and usually live in holes. They are omnivores feeding on algae, but also mollusks, other crustaceans, and worms. 

This cache requires a watercraft to reach and you will be going through 'mangrove caves' which if you are quiet enough you will see many crabs scurry along the mangrove branches and roots. There is no need to disturb any mangroves or wildlife to reach this cache. Cache placement has been approved by the park preserve manager.
