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.

 

The yellow belly turtle is one of the many turtle species out there. Generally this type of turtle is found in the Eastern United States, but, is also found in the UK. They have different names according to the region including Slider and Yellow Bellied Terrapin. Its scientific name or Latin name is Trachemys scripta elegans.  Female yellow bellied turtles are normally larger than the males thus making it a bit easier when identifying the gender of these animals. The adult males are generally in a range between about 5 to 8 inches long while the adult females are around 8 to 13 inches long.

How long do the Yellow Bellied Turtle incubate?

A) 1-2 months - N30 24.362 W082 18.320

B) 2-3 months - N30 24.853 W082 18.917

C) 3-4 months - N30 25.152 W082 19.351
