Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted cords!

Please do not attempt to go there!



Almost all of the caches in this series are 2WD drive accessible. There are a few that are down spur roads that are an easy walk. Remember, there is NO cell service out there, so don't take chances! Many areas of the Osceola can be wet, so please remember to bring boots!

I found a spot in the Osceola for a cute turtle geoart.

To find the cords for the true location of the caches, just answer the easy questions about turtles.

 

 African Sideneck Turtles are freshwater turtles. They were originally discovered in Eastern and Southern Africa. Contrary, to popular belief not all turtles can fully withdraw their heads into their shells; the African Sideneck Turtle is an example of this and they simply turn their heads to the side and fold them under the upper edge of their shell; hence their name. This species of turtle is normally the typical earth tones, that one may associate with them. Their colors vary from dark brown and tan to gray and black.

What is the scientific name of the African Side-necked turtle?

A) Chelonioidea - N30 23.722  W082 19.238

B) Pelusios castaneus N30 24.227 W082 18.382

C) Graptemys oculifera N30 25.272 W082 17.823
