+jipow Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Had to disable my only catche. I had it hid in a hollow tree at Church, got a call from the Preacher's son telling me that I had to find a new hiding place, the tree fell due to high winds. Quote
+briansnat Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 The reason trees are one of my last choices for a hiding place. Quote
+StarBrand Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Yikes!! Winter winds can be brutal to trees. I have lost 2 in the same manner over the years - i now avoid trees as well. Especially ones that are partly rotted and hollowed. Quote
+jipow Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 We had wind gusts of 40mph yesterday, and brush fires scattered around the area. Quote
+Hobo2 Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Your not the only one with tree trouble. I just published this cache, GC173WK. This tree was a land mark for years and years, but wouldn't you know, as soon as my cache was published it fell over. I'm rethinking trees as well. Quote

Especially ones that are partly rotted and hollowed. That's the problem with trees. The ones that offer the best hiding places are often diseased and the most likely to come down. I use them if there is no alternative, but try to look for some place better. Quote

+TrailGators Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Mother Nature can really be a bitch sometimes Tell me about it! I lost poor old Rudolph because of her. Actually, Rudolph is still there but he's taking a nap now... Quote
+Confucius' Cat Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 We had wind gusts of 40mph yesterday, and brush fires scattered around the area. Well, at least you COULD go get your cache... could have been a pile of ashes. Quote

I agree, totally. Now, the preacher's daughter.... Quote
+meralgia Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 hollow trees are awesome for caches--if only they would just stand still! Quote
