Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Sand Dollar Habitat Preserve!

Few folks even notice this habitat preserve for native plants and animals. It seems a bit odd for it to be in the place. The large retaining wall helps maintain the preserve which among other things, is the habitat for Smith's Blue Butterfly. Much of these efforts have been ignored and overlooked by residents and patrons of the nearby shopping.

At the cache location is an informational sign describing the habitat preserve. Please read through the information and locate the year the preserve was established. Next, note the number of acres that were set aside. Finally, count the number of screws used to fasten the sign. Now for some math.... Take the year the cache was placed and subtract the date the preserve was established. Next, take the number of acres and add the number of screws used to attach the sign. Subtract this number from the first result. Proceed this number of feet south of the posted coordinates. The accuracy was sampled 140 times and was 12'.

I have never placed a nano-micro cache. It always seemed that a larger cache could have been placed there or nearby. I guess there are always exceptions.

The cache is not located in the preserve and is easily accessible by everyone. Do not disturb any plants or animals! The cache is handicap accessible but like most cache may be hard to retrieve.

Please return the cache so it can be easily retrieved but is not viewable from any angle.
