Audubon Pennington Nature Park
When I was in my early teens (about 25 years ago), this park was just empty property. We used to go camping, hunting, swimming in the canals and rode dirt bikes. Most of the paths that you find now were blazed by my friends and I.Back then, you couldn't see a house in any direction. In the late 80's, or early 90's, it became part of the Peace River Audubon Society. They dug out the end of the peninsula and planted cypress trees where there were none before.
We hadn't visited this park since before Hurricane Charley and although it is still beautiful, some of my favorite old climbing trees were blown down. The signs marking the different species of trees are also gone but the walk is still nice and peaceful, there are still some parts of the path that have tree canopy.
The designated parking area is about 1/4 mile from the cache. There are a few paths that will lead you near the coordinates and you will find the ammo box about 70 feet off the main path. Tread lightly, there is no need to tear up anything to get there. The terrain is easy all except the last 70 feet where you have to go off the main path. Approaching from the wrong angle could make it more to very difficult. Once off the main path there is some ducking and stepping over involved but no major bushwhacking. Our 6 year old son made it in and out without a scratch. The ammo box is well camouflaged. On your way out, don't take the same path if you want to get a different view, you can't get lost.
You will find cypress swamp, oak hammock, and pine flatwoods. I can vouch for all the animals listed in their website except for the limpkin and you should add alligators to the list.
UPDATE - May 8th, 2005
Seems the cache has gone missing but we replaced it with the same type of container. Original ammo box may have been buried beneath the growth. If you find the original one, please contact us, there are travel bugs in there that the owners would want to have set free.
