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.

ย 

Hermann's tortoises are small to medium sized tortoises that come from southern Europe. At one time, hundreds of thousands of these tortoises were removed from their habitat in southeast Europe every year and exported to Britain and northwest Europe for the bulk pet trade. Sadly, because of the unsuitable cold and wet climates they were moved to, most of them died within a short time. Hermann's tortoise is a typical member of the Testudo genus. Both the males and females have a large horny scale or nail on the end of their tails.
