Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!
However, it is withing short walking distance.


Please respect the neighbors and only visit this park during daylight hours.

Did you ever wonder if there are Blue Turtles in Woodland? Probably not, but just in case you did, we have captured one and placed it in a cache for all to enjoy.

Please park anywhere close to the coordinates, and do bring the kids. Just follow the instructions below to locate the aforementioned Blue Turtle's new home. And unless you like to climb trees, please bring a retrieval pole to claim the prize, because this one is out of reach of the locals. GPS users please follow the instructions in green type.

1) After arriving at the posted coordinates, walk southward down the path to the group of 2 similar type trees on the right. 135.97 feet at 214.30 degrees.
2) Walk a shorter distance to the group of 5 similar type trees on the left. 72.03 feet at 100.63 degrees.
3) While still heading south, walk to the next big grove of 3 similar trees on the left. 186.10 feet at 178.22 degrees.
4) Locate the tallest of these similar type trees and search the heavens for the cache. Tilt head back while maintaining a frim grip on the GPS.
5) Once spotted, bring it down with your extension device... or do like the A Team Vallejo and climb up after it. Increase altitude by 10-15 feet.
6) When you have the cache in hand, please stamp our small log with your smallest stamp (or sign with your pen) and use the enclosed Blue Turtle stamp and pad to stamp your book, if you care to. Congrats! Give your GPS a hug.
7) Please replace exactly as found! Find next closest cache. Have a great day!

This can be a high muggle area, so please be stealthy! We have already lost 2 caches near here.
