Description
We placed this cache on New Years Day, a new family tradition. You are looking for a 1/2 gallon tall camoed jar. The cache contains a log and a few small trade items, including a new unactivated TB as an FTF prize.

This cache is located in Smyra Dunes Park in Volusia County, Florida. The park is open until 6:00 PM daily, and there is a $5 entry fee.

Visitors to Smyrna Dunes Park may arrive by land or by sea. Perched on 73 acres of pristine land at the northern tip of the New Smyrna Beach peninsula, the area is surrounded by water on three sides. Waters from the Indian River flow through Ponce Inlet and into the Atlantic Ocean providing a variety of fishing or swimming venues for park goers.

The park also provides a unique opportunity for naturalists, ecologists, students and the general public to see a wide variety of animals, birds, reptiles, marine life and vegetation in their natural habitat. To protect the natural habitat, more than two miles of elevated boardwalks, picnic areas, pavilions and an observation tower have been erected.

The park consists of five ecosystems (ocean, river, dunes, scrub zone, saltwater marsh). The principal system is vast sand dunes. To protect the sensitive sand dunes from foot traffic, two miles of elevated walkways, picnic areas, pavilions and an observation tower were built, allowing visitors to travel through the park in a natural environment.

Smyrna Dunes provides a unique opportunity for naturalists, ecologists, students and the general public to see a wide variety of animals, birds, reptiles, marine life and vegetation in their natural habitat. The surrounding waters provide excellent fishing, boating and swimming opportunities. Smyrna Dunes Park is one of a few County parks where man’s best friend may enjoy the amenities. However, pets must be leashed at all times. Guided nature walks and educational programs are available.

PLANNING

The weather today was very cold and very windy. We decided to try a nearby boardwalk and I noted 3 caches along the route.

OUTCOME

This was my third search of the day.
Here is my posting to this geocaching.com website:

Excellent coordinates. Exactly where you said it would be. TNLNSL. TFTC.
