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.

These amiable turtles have broken yellow lines on their heads and necks in addition to their shell color ranging from black to tan. These diurnal turtles are more rectangular shaped than round. With proper diet and care, these turtle are real life companions that can live up to 20 years. Originally from China, these turtles are primarily found in Eastern Asia and their range spans China, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. They are also known as the Chinese pond turtle or Chinese three keeled turtle. They are pond turtle that prefer sluggish waters with soft bottoms, abundant aquatic vegetation and plenty of basking sites. They have also been found in marshes, swamps, and even rice paddies. Waddling pools or Koi ponds make excellent Reeves turtle habitats for they are not the best of swimmers.
