Gulf Of the Dolphins Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

GoofyButterfly: Well, according to the logs, this one has gone missing. This is unfortunate as it is a beautiful island, but it was probably removed by parks and rec as they are clamping down on caches in Lee County, so we will put this one to rest. We said if this one went missing again we would archive it as we can not continue to go out and check it anymore. Thanks for all who visited,

We have replaced this cache with a new container and away from it's original location. If you have logged a 'find' prior to April 23, 2006, you may log another now. Also, PLEASE just open the top to get to it's contents, and make sure it is put back like you found it, or better!! Since we do not own our own water transportation, it is costly for us to do maintenance, so please help us if you can, so that the next cacher can enjoy the hunt, the view and the find too! Thank you!!!!

This cache is is a replacement for Gulf of the Dolphins Buried Treasure by Kim and Fiona, Team Shorty w/help from little Blue.

Crow T had said the owners were MIA and asked if anyone could give him information on the cache. We made contact with Little Blue and went to check on the cache. The cache was a victim of Hurricane Charley and is gone. After our trip to the cache, we decided that this area could not be left without a cache. We kayaked to the cache area. During our excursion we were accompanied by dolphins!!

The Island is a beautiful secluded area. We think this cache is well worth the effort and therefore, we placed a new cache North from where the old cache was. With the permission of Little Blue, the old cache was archived and this new one is in place.

We just felt that bringing people to this area was a wonderful idea and should not be let go. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did!! We thank the original cache owners for bringing us here.

The Northen part of the Island is a Private resort and Beach area. The area in which the cache is placed is part of Lee County parks and is public.

*****PLEASE be aware. This cache is within 500 feet of a nude beach. You will almost be guaranteed to see people in their Birthday suits.*****
trees

Also note that the closest we could get with the tree cover was 16 feet accuracy with the waypoints. Becuase of this, and it's new 'placement' we have given it the 4 1/2 star rating for difficulty. The coordinates for this cache are averaged.

Thank you for taking the time to find this cache. You won't be sorry if you do!! Please replace exactly as found. Enjoy!!
