Geocache Description:

Turtle Island: Lost Treasure

This remote island was the perfect spot for hiding the treasure, but it may be hidden too well. Few people have set foot on the island, and things just seem to get lost there.

This will be a very challenging adventure and more then a walk in the park. Getting to the island is only half the battle. Navigating the interior will prove just as challenging. Once you pass the bogs expect to find the waterlogged island with tall grass covering fallen logs. Depending on the season the cache may be a little hard to spot.

You are looking for a small ammo container wrapped in camouflage tape.

Some of the contents include gold coins, jewels and various treasures such as "Off-Road Impossible: The Perry Mountain Assignment", and a Regal Cinemas $10 card

First To Find goes to Scubasonic
Note: A boat (may not) be required to get to the island depending on your state of adventure.

**FYI** It's summer now, which means the island is partially submerged, the grass in 4' to 6' high, and the mosquitoes and leaches are every where. I would suggest waders, some sort of net head covering, and full body cover. Or just bathe in bug replant. Not sure when, but at some point they may close the lake due to elevated algae. Check ahead before embarking on the journey.
