This cache is a short walk from the car to a some palmetto's on the beach. Please rehide the ammo can well as it is at a busy beach access point. Dedicated to an illustrious Brevard Geocacher!
Our geo-friend Capaldo has been a very bad boy. Since Santa didn't deliver coal for his stocking, we've provided this cache specifically for him. You see, Capaldo fooled us gullible SeaAggies. Awhile back, at least a year ago, we received a cryptic message that informed us of his identity as being the approver for Florida, CrowTRobot. It appeared legit and we were even surprised about it, but were sure to keep the "true" identity of Crow on the down-low. Afterall, it was an honest mistake, right?
Recently we realized we were tricked! How sneaky of Capaldo to utilize the internet in order to obtain the final coordinates to our Sea Turtles of the World cache, thus bypassing the need to retrieve the seven sea turtles we had placed.
So, we are putting him on the "bad" list and encourage you to pick up a baggie of coal that is in the cache and give it to Capaldo the next time you see him, or to leave it in a cache of his. For those folks who don't know who Capaldo is we have regular cache swag in it for trade as well as a log book. When the coal is gone, we encourage our Brevard caching friends to replenish it if we are unable to get up there in time to do so ourselves.
The following is the email we recieved from "Crowpaldo".
The first email
This was from Capaldo's personal email address, unsigned as to whether or not it was Crow or Capaldo.
"Please confirm the final coordinates. There is a nearby cache submission that poses
a potential conflict."
Our Reply to Capaldo
ok, I will get you the coords tomorrow. Is it your cache submission?

"Crow's" Reply
This was with a name in the address line stating Crow T. Robot, however until recently we realized it was from the same email address.
Chris,
This is a little embarrassing; I emailed you from the wrong profile. I'd appreciate if you'd help protect my anonymity.
The cache is not mine, it's in the approval queue.
Thanks
So, we forwarded the coords and for months we thought but weren't 100% sure, and we even asked Capaldo to be sure via a PM elsewhere, to which he even signed "Crowpaldo". We suppose it's our own fault for not paying close enough attention, but Capaldo has really pulled the wool over our eyes!
