Geocache Description:

Crimson Frog.  Ribbit!

Original contents include cool small toys, buttons, log book, $1 CA$H (that's BIG BUCK$, folks!!) and a trackabe geocoin. WOW!!

Crimson Frog lives in the Barton Creek Greenbelt.


BYOP (just to be safe)...I always leave a few pens but I find that they tend to go missing pretty quickly.

This is one of six frog brothers that lives in the Austin, TX area. When there's enough water in the often dried up creek, wading will likely be required for the most direct route from the listed parking area. TERRAIN RATING reflects this potential water condition!! (I just waded through over 2 feet of water after we had a big storm, but the creek was dried up completely a couple weeks prior). Chances are you will find it to be closer to a 3-3.5 terrain rating.

Crimson Frog is the TOUGHEST of the frog brothers. He is the "Guardian of the Greenbelt" and uses his brute strength and unrivaled wrestling skills in his role as both the first and last line of defense against the MONSTER ARMY of trolls, goblins and gremlins from the swamps that are trying to steal ALL THE CANDY...every single piece. If there happen to be a lot of mosquitoes around Crimson Frog, it means that goblinoid scouting parties are in the area, so please be extra careful!!

FUN FROG FACTS (from www.kidzone.ws):
Frogs have many predators. Animal predators include birds, fish and reptiles.&

Most rainforest frogs have pads of sticky hairs on their fingers and toes, as well as, loose sticky skin on their bellies, that make them great climbers to escape their predators. Many of these frogs live in high trees for safety.

Other frogs are very good at camouflaging themselves so that they blend in with their environment, making it harder for their enemies to find them. A frog can change the colour of its skin depending on its surroundings.

Humans have become a major danger for amphibians of all types. Water pollution is causing many deformities in frogs as well as poisoning them, and loss of habitat through the building of roads and houses. In some countries, frog legs are considered a delicacy, which means that people love to eat them! Eew!

KIDS!!! Upload your awesome drawings of Crimson Frog as he wrestles up to 5 goblins at once. Crimson Frog can also body-slam a troll!!! Maybe draw that cool action scene!!

Congrats to WeAreGaughen for FTF!!

SPOILER: Plan for a bit of bushwacking off the trail if you want to find froggy.
