Geocache Description:


You are looking for a Bison Alligator. 

I loved seeing the alligators when I went down to Florida. They are mesmerizing creatures. They seem so lazy and slow, but can then strike at an amazingly quick speed! Here are a couple facts:

  1. Alligators top speed on land is 35 mph, and in water is 20 mph.
  2. Alligators have been around for approximately 37 million years.
  3. Alligators use their tails to propell them as much as 5 feet out of the water when they leap.
  4. The one that astonished me the most: Alligators can climb! Not full on rock walls, but they can go up vertical inclines and some tree trunks!

It has been hard finding a good spot for this, but at last, today we found it, and it wasn't too close to another cache! I would read the whole cache page *cough the attributes cough* before searching. You will need light to search for this, but night caching is allowed. You can bring your dog, I did (she loved it) but it can be questionable and dirty. And finally: Go for this on a nice day, not a wet one . . . because that's when the alligators are out. . . .

Congratulations to Team Over the Hump on the Group FTF!

Good Luck!
