Turtle Hospital Virtual Cache

This cache has been archived.

GA Cacher: Well the Turtle Hospital has moved and this location is now a bait shop. This virtual cache was to give people a fun thing to do when visiting Topsail Island and to maybe bring awareness of the hospital. Well as the hospital has moved and since people have logged that it needs maintenance I will have to delete this cache.
It was a fun 18 years

Geocache Description:

A Sea Turtle Sanctuary Committed to the Care & Release of Sick and Injured Sea Turtles.

To log this cache:
Post a picture of you and your GPSr in front of the Hospital. Or E-Mail Me, and tell me what very large structure is located across from the hospital to the east.The center does not have to be open to get the answer. Don't post the answer here, even if encrypted. Any pictures of the object will cause the post to be deleted.The hours to the center are VERY irregular, and the visiting hours vary greatly, depending on the season. Most likely, they will be closed except during the summer tourist season. They depend on volunteer help for tours, especially college students on summer breaks.You do not need to visit the hospital itself, the object is available 24/7.

This is a family cache, kid friendly, and a great group of people helping endangered species. This hospital for sick and injured sea turtles was started by Karen Beasley, and continued after her death by her family. The hospital is run by volunteers, and no funding other than donations.

Visit the web site, and if you are so inclined, help them with the cause. I am not affiliated with the hospital in any way, other than donations, and buying t-shirts for friends.

Also at this website you can see satellite tracking using GPS technology to document sea turtles travels. You can even "adopt" a turtle.
