Geocache Description:


Welcome to Kelso Conservation Area

On approach to GZ, a geocacher should be able to spot this cache container easily. However, Please use Extreme Caution, little is know about the characteristics and behaviours of the Blue Croc (Crocodylinae hyacinthum) we spotted here.  Crocodylinae hyacinthum is extremely rare and a very endangered species.  You are looking for a green Bison Tube, hanging over the water in the branches of a willow tree.  Cache Is Not Kayak Friendly, best to use a canoe or paddle board, and STAY OUT OF THE WATER!
