Do not walk on the Dunes or Sea Oats. Do not go behind or crawl under the boardwalk. No need to leave the boardwalk even for a teeny weeny itsy bit, even for a little peek. No need to bend over, stoop, crawl, or look under or in anything. Follow the detailed instructions given at the end of the Corresponding Adventure Lab carefully and exactly and let only your right hand do the searching. This cache has been ((smuggled)), yes smuggled, 4 times so look natural and inconspicuous as possible!!! There are many eyes watching this your location and looking for suspicious behavior. So whistle a happy tune, sing a song from the 60's, 70's, or 80's. Tell a funny Geocache story. Point at something unusual like your Geocache buddies write-in-the-rain-pen, (RITRP) and laugh loudly that they spent $14.00 for it and you only spent $12.95 and got two pens. And if they don't own a (RITRP), laugh and tell them that you will buy them one. Remember the telescopes and binoculars that are fixed on you and what you are doing. Remember it's also now been made wheelchair accessible (T1) so you never need to go Indiana Jones Crazy (IJC). The difficulty level is a 3.0 only because of the Serial Smugglers. The cache has been equipped with an expensive Kalooter Winding Device, (KWD) and these are very expensive and difficult to replace. #;')

In 2017, the city won "Most Fit City" in the Mayor's Fitness Challenge, hosted by Health First.
This adventure lab was created to honor Cape Canaveral being awarded the fittest city. If you completed this adventure by walking the beach, recommended, you will have walked almost 2.5 miles or 6000 steps. You would have discovered that the side streets are named after the Presidents of the United States. And you would have walked on one of the nation's most beautiful shorelines.
If you did the adventure lab by car or RV you will have seen only parking lots and street signs, but you will gain greater skill experience in the making of the infamous three-point turn.
In 1890 a group of Harvard Alumni students established a hunter’s gun club called the Canaveral Harvard Club with a holding of over 18,000 acres (7,300 ha). Their game hunts helped clear the wilderness for other settlers to move in.
In the early 1920s, a group of Orlando journalists invested more than $150,000 in the beach acreage that now encompasses the area of presidentially named streets in Cape Canaveral. They called their development Journalista (now Avon-by-the-Sea) in honor of their trade. A wooden bridge linking Merritt Island with the area had just been constructed. The developers anticipated a growing number of seasonal visitors.
At that time, fishermen, retirees, and descendants of Captain Mills Burnham —the original official keeper of the Cape Canaveral Light—resided in the northern part of the present city.
Due to the hardships caused by the Great Depression, many investors defaulted on their holdings. Much of this land was recovered by newspaper owner R.B. Brossier and his son, Dickson after they sold their Orlando home and used the remaining $4,500 to purchase much of the Avon area.
By 1958 the workforce and the economy had grown with the space program. At that time, state statute allowed an adjacent city to annex an unincorporated area without a vote of the residents. Local property owners were concerned that Cocoa Beach might annex them. Landowners felt that Cocoa Beach had more city debt and higher land taxes than they wished to support.
The City of Cape Canaveral started in 1961 when a committee was formed to incorporate. Due to paperwork delays, the city charter was made into bill 167 and approved by the Florida State Legislature in Tallahassee on May 16, 1963.
In 2012, the city started celebrating its 50th year since incorporation. At a Heritage Day event in March 2013 part of the festivities included author Jay Barbree who delivered an oral history of the early days. On the official 50th anniversary date of May 16, 2013, a 50-year time capsule was sealed, and a pictorial postmark of the city's anniversary was stamped.
Thank you to all the men and Women in Blue that protect our city and to all of the first responders for their sacrifice to make our lives safer. A truly thin Blue line.
