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 bog turtle is the smallest of the turtles found in the United States, measuring from 3 to 3.5 inches and weighing approximately 4 ounces. It has an orange or yellow head patch which is sometimes divided into 2 parts. The large scutes (shell segments) of the dark carapace (upper shell) have yellow or reddish hues. Males have a flatter carapace, concave plastron (bottom shell), and a long, thick tail. Females have a wider carapace, convex plastron, and a short, thin tail.
