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.

 

 Found in tropical South America – the Guianas, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador and Paraguayand on some Caribbean islands – the red-footed tortoise (Geochelone carbonaria) has a dark carapace with lighter patches of yellow in the centers of the scutes and around the outside edges of the shell. Although there is much variation, the legs and head are often colored with patches of red, orange or yellow. Many individuals have a distinctive constriction in the sides of their shells, giving the appearance of a waistline or an hourglass shape when viewed from above. The forest habitat provides the red-foot with an abundance of fallen fruits such as wild plum. It also eats wild mushrooms, vines, grasses, succulents and carrion, and is attracted to yellow and red flowers.
