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.
The Chicken Turtle has a beautiful reticulated shell and vertically striped rump. Its good looks along with its attentive nature are some of its endearing qualities. The name 'chicken turtle' unfortunately comes from the early days when these turtles were eaten in very large numbers throughout the southeastern United States. They are said to be quite good, tasting "like chicken."
The Chicken Turtles have unusually long necks and large, inquisitive eyes. Their shells vary but many have amazingly beautiful green and yellow whirls and rings. They have a yellow plastron and a characteristic vertically striped rump. Adult female chicken turtles can grow to 12", with mature males being slightly smaller.
