| This is easy to get and a short walk with Plenty of parking |
This is a small ammo can. There is enough room for log book and items. Also you my need to do a little bush whacking. If major bush whacking seams to be the only way, walk around. Be watchful of spiders, most are harmless and are more creepy than dangerous. There are plenty of sticks close by to help relocate the webs. Be on the look out for muggles. Lots of people use this park and will most likely be packed on the weekend. ** Note** the cache was repaired on 7-21-2006

Found it without disturbing any spiders. Cache is in good shape. Took TB Wandering Bog Frog and will move next week. Thanks for a nice cache.

Could not locate. Quite a bit of the trees are down from the last storms.

Nicest park n grab I have seen in a long time. Showed motogrrl the sights. She must have brought me good luck as I was 3 for 3 on a lunch cache and I found a frisbee golf disc to boot (I have been wanting one for a while). Took snakey, left Froggy TB.
Note, this is not the cache for arachniphobes!
P.S. This tree is our native strangler fig (Ficus aurea). Banyan tree is technically Ficus benghalensis, although most of what we call Banyan here in Miami (e.g. along Coral Way, or Old Cutler) is Lofty fig (Ficus altissima). I'm guessing people wouldn't be too anxious to dive in the bush for this one if you called it "10 and a strangler".

We loved this cache! The ammo can looks great and we were able to find it with very minimal spider web/bushwacking. It looks very well hidden and we almost gave up the hunt before finding it! Thanks again.
We took a travel bug that was found in the cache:
A "Give me a smile" keychain Travel Bug -(For some reason there isn't any record of it on this page)
We left a zoocrew5 frog
Thanks again!

Cache has been muggled. Found only part of the cache and signed such log as we could find. Cache is in really really bad shape. TFTF
