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.

 

This large South American species, the Matamata Turtle, is a wonder to watch. Though it is not a pet to be handled, its interesting lifestyle and bizarre appearance make it perfect for a beautiful display.  Matamatas are found in the Amazon River and its tributaries in Peru, Venezuela, Guiana, and Brazil. The Matamata Turtle is a large and very amazing looking turtle. It is flattened with a rugose shell and exciting flaps of skin that make it one of the most well-camouflaged species in the world. Matamatas reach a large adult size of 18" (46 cm) or more.
