Turtle among Maples Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TurtleFan: There is indeed a completely new fence at GZ. I'm afraid this one is a goner and after having tried two spots in this park, I'm giving up on this one.[:(]

Geocache Description:

A special micro (a turtle, thus the cache name) awaited you in Winnetka's Maple Street Park right along the lake until it went missing. Now it's a more traditional mini micro (not quite a nano). Do not remove the container, just twist off its top to access the log! (Tweezers may come in handy.) Please only sign initials so as to preserve space on the small log.

On nice days when the park attracts visitors, stealth will be imperative.

There are a few parking spots right next to the park (and very close to GZ), but at certain times of the year, these are only for permit-holders. If you don't qualify or those are not available then park on Maple. Sheridan is off limits for parking.

Logs stating nothing more than "TFTC" may find themselves deleted.

The original hint stated: "Can turtles climb trees? If the answer is no then this is a very special turtle indeed." Unfortunately, it was so special that someone decided to walk off with it. The cache is now in a different part of the park (see current coordinates).
