Geocache Description:

Lemon Frog.  Ribbit!

BRING YOUR OWN PEN!! Original contents include cool small toys, buttons, log book and a trackabe geocoin. WOW!!


IMPORTANT NOTE I replaced this container due to it getting dislodged from its position due to the elements. Unfortunately, the difficulty rating is probably a 2.5 - 3.0 now...but I guess it's all relative to the seeker. Anyway, last time I updated D/T ratings i got a lot of backlash because it screwed up people's D/T grids. So I am not editing the D/T, but be aware this is probably a 2.5 - 3.0, depending...and I also gave some specific details in the HINT now.

This is one of six frog brothers that reside in the Austin, TX area. Lemon Frog is one of the four smaller brothers. He likes the sound of trickling water so he usually hangs out in the general vicinity of streams. If you're lucky, sometimes late at night you can find Lemon Frog dangling his webbed feet in a stream under the stars and happily licking a lemon peel.

If the Bull Creek water level rises significantly, then the most direct route to the cache would require wading across potentially slippery rocks...however there are also other routes which go around the water. The terrain rating reflects the uncommon condition and situation in which you decide to cross the creek when the water levels have rasen up from their normal level.

FUN FROG FACTS (from www.kidzone.ws):  Every different species of frog makes its own special sound and it is only the male frog that can croak.  They have a small sac in their throats that vibrates the air as they slowly let it out.  The sounds that frogs make are not what you’d expect.  Did you know that there are frogs that chirp? Others can whistle, croak, ribbit, peep, cluck, bark and grunt.

KIDS!!! Upload your awesome drawings of Lemon Frog licking lemon peels down by the creek!!

PARKING WAYPOINT: 6701 Lakewood Drive (Bull Creek Park and Greenbelt)
