Geocache Description:

Terrible terrain, thorns, more thorns, and no trail. I would reccomend no children. Good luck! and use the waypoint path I added to have to work for it. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PATH. There is an easier path to take closer to the water. But I prefer to work for it.

The waypoint'll get you there. Just not in the easiest or most practical way. 

 


This cache is not for the everyday cacher. Thorns, Rough Terrain, Dense Vines and very little wiggle room. 

While walking through these woods, I came across a turtle shell about 6 feet from the cache location. Around the turlte shell, were multiple animal tracks. And, being the history enthusiast I am. I pictured a lone turtle (Franklin) taking a stand against the other wildlife creatures in the area. 

But alas, He failed. 

This cache is dedicated to this little turtle who may have fought for his family, his land, and his pride. 

R.I.P Franklin. You're bravery will be honored for years to come. 

 

Now, on to the thick of it. This cache is gonna be terrible for you. I promise. If you use the waypoint path, up the difficulty and terrain by a star or two. It's dreadful. The cache is also very difficult to get to without getting cought on a thorn vine or two. 

Getting to the cache will be harder to get to than it will be to find most likely. 

If you do take the waterside trail, theres still no path to the cache. I would reccomend that children not go near it. There are way too many thorns. 

32.929212, -97.223578 These are the waypoint coords to the trail you should head for if you decide to do it the hard way and work for it! 

Please replace the cache as you found it.

And Cache on!

CONGRATS TO BluRaider ON THE FTF!
