Geocache Description:

Located on Shell Island near Panama City FL. Difficulty 3.5 since you should use a boat to get there. Terrain is beach sand.

The piece of land this cache is located on is called Shell Island. Shell Island is no longer an Island. The East pass has once again closed. A marine biologist told me that this would probably happen. She said that with two openings to the Gulf this near to each other there was not enough water flow to keep them both open and the East or Old Pass lost out.

The cache is located on the Shell Island State Park and has no restrictions on travel. Near the cache is a group of palm trees. Some of these palm trees are tall stumps. The cache is buried approximately 3 feet North of a palm tree stump. This stump is three to four feet high and is the farthest North of all the palms in this group. Since some people have had difficulty finding this cache I have added pictures of the cache site.

The cache is contained in a buried five gallon bucket. Advice, wear sunscreen and watch for snakes. Bill
