Geocache Description:


Name inspired by the movie "On Golden Pond" that came out when I was a kiddo. I have been by this small pond umpteenjillion times and when the sun is out, I have always seen varying number of turtles out sunbathing (not to mention other critters as well). This is a subtle reminder for me to slow down and take time to do NOTHING. When I placed this cache, I also was greeted by some ducks and egrets. While you are here, check out the wild life in this oasis in the middle of the suburbs.

The initial container went MIA so this has been reconfigured.

You are looking for a bison tube. The terrain gets its rating from the steep, but short, hill that you need to stroll down, but not all the way down (hint).

I am using old equipment to get the coordinates, however I did make a slight adjustment using google earth. If, by chance the coordinates are off, please let me know because some folks are persnickity about this kind of stuff.

Congratulations to BrainWerx for the FTF
