+edscott Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I guess whoever parked this wagon here forgot to come back. That, my friend, is a genuine antique manure spreader. If you've never run one take my word for it.It's a crappy job! You're supposed to pull it not push it.. lot less crappy. Quote Link to comment

knowschad Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 This cedar tree was munching on a golf ball... til a chain saw stopped the assault... That's a lot of work to retrieve a golf ball. Particularly considering that it'll most likely end up in a cache anyway. Quote Link to comment
+Wooden Cyclist Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 This one is hard to see, but buried deep in the center of this tree is a fence post. There was an opossum near the cache. I'd post the pic, but that is a different thread. Quote Link to comment

+Sol seaker Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Cool!!! Did it actually take the top off of the matchsafe? That's what it looks like. All that in 4 years. Its ironic that you brought this thread back today. While I didn't grab any pictures, I went back to a park today where I had cached about 3 years ago, and was near a huge oak that has a three-inch wire cable running through it. I was only a couple hundred feet from the tree today... wish now that I had gone over and snapped a few. And if it got the top off of it, did it sign the log???? Quote Link to comment

If you've never run one take my word for it.It's a crappy job! You're supposed to pull it not push it.. lot less crappy. Looks like that tree is trying to push it. Don't you wonder if it continues pushing at night when no one is watching? Quote Link to comment
+tonibunny Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I am late to this thread I'm afraid (having found it from the Firetacks thread elsewhere) but I hope you all don't mind. I just had to share this particular "hungry tree"! It's located in the old churchyard at St Pancras in London, UK, and the tree is slowly eating up old gravestones that were stacked around it after they were moved to create the nearby railway in Victorian times. The tree is known as "The Hardy Tree" because Thomas Hardy (writer of Tess of the d'Urbervilles etc) did some of the work in moving the gravestones, long before he became famous for writing. Although I live in London, I only found out about this because one of the first geocaches I ever did was located there and it remains one of my favourite ever finds (image by Jacqueline Banerjee at Victorianweb, used with permission) Quote Link to comment
+Quossum Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 This one isn't as dramatic as some of the others in this thread, but I found a hungry tree the other day: There must've been a fence at some time. The tree picked up the top metal pole of it and devoured it, then continued growing upwards, too, so there's a metal pole embedded in a tree, sticking out in the air way above your head. Very cool! (Neat cache, too, Lost Communities.) --Q Quote Link to comment

+KI4HLW Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 And, while this tree does not appear to have eaten anything, the cache is not appropriate for the location. (This is a fake junction box cover) Maybe it's just me, but if I found this cache I'd probably have laughed my butt off and marked it as a favorite! Now a whole park of them would be different, but every now and then the unexpected can be good. Quote Link to comment
+sidekeck Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Found this while out hiking a year and a half ago Closest cache. And yes, I did enter. Quote Link to comment
+Dgwphotos Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I hid a micro in this amazing willow oak tree back in '05. I was alone with no measuring device, but it took 4 hugs to get around the tree, so I estimate the circumference at 18-20'. A few months ago logs mentioned that the cache was getting stuck in its nook. I finally replaced it this week and it took almost ten minutes of gentle persistant wiggling and tugging with pliers to remove the old matchstick case. The tree: The old cache: That's the closest you will ever get to having a muggle proof cache! Quote Link to comment

+CruiseGuy Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I should go back and take pictures of the tree I saw today that ate a fence. Looked like it probably started about 20 years ago, seriously imbedded in the tree. Quote Link to comment
+lamoracke Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 awesome pictures. There is a mystery cache in Oregon which had an ALR which asked what the tree eat, it was a bike. Cant show a picture, unless that bike one earlier is the same. Quote Link to comment

+Schizoid2k Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Not really related, but interesting - tree with a penis! http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z177/Mi...61PenisTree.jpg You call that a penis tree? Here's a penis tree... Interesting story (to some): I grabbed this pic because I thought it was funny and submitted it to Weird NJ Magazine. It had the appendage and was "eating" a rock behind it. It was published and a few months later I was contacted by someone in the Lenepe Indian Tribe, and it was confirmed that this tree was a lost Marker Tree and is several hundred years old. Back in the day, the Lenepe Indians tied down trees on thier path to point to thinks like lakes and crops, etc. The tree would grow in a bend like that and after a year or so, the tree was untied.

+hzoi Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Bring me Solo and the wookie! They will pay for this outrage! ... Here's a hungry tree we saw in the woods up above Bergen, Norway, while hunting caches around Skomakerdiket (Cobbler's Pond). As I understand it, this particular tree was force-fed by an artist, though it seems to be enjoying its new dietary options. Edited April 11, 2011 by hzoi Quote Link to comment

+BaylorGrad Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I once found a cache near a tree that had eaten a shopping cart. The cart had since been cut away, but you could still see metal bars of the shopping cart sticking out from the truck. WEIRD. Quote Link to comment
+king.hubi Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I have found two nice omnivorous trees. First a tree eating a yellow HIDDEN DRIVE sign along Concord Street in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

+grazelda Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 This one is pretty cool! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=7e97277e-ef8e-4453-b87b-24e8fe51a86f GCC6GH BYGONE DAYS This cache is placed in a small roadside park. This park is noted for a unique farm implement that was left sitting in the field many years ago. The story goes that the implement was leaned against a small sapling when a young farmer went off to fight for the Union in the Civil War. Killed in the war, he never returned and the sapling grew into the mighty oak that still surrounds the metal parts of the implement. Check it out at these coords. N41.34.414 and W94.53.807. Enjoy this little bit of history. The cache is a camoed L&L. There are also some leaflets in the cache with pictures and info about the landmark, feel free to take one. Quote Link to comment
