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.

Β 

The elongated or yellow-headed tortoise (Indotestudo elongata) occurs in tropical southeast Asia, being found in parts of northeast India, Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. Elongated tortoises inhabit humid upland forest areas, but they have been observed basking on open ground in India during extreme heat. As the common names suggest, these up to 1 foot-long tortoises have elongated somewhat narrow carapaces and yellow heads. The carapaces are a yellowish-brown color, often with black "smudges" on each scute. Males have a plastral concavity and much longer tails than the females.

The Elongated Tortoise is

A) a Herbavore -N30 25.867 W082. 20.683

B) an Onmivore - N30 25.087 W082 20.279

C) a Carnivore - N30 24.943 W082 19.778
