I'f I ever stumble across something like this, I'll be sure to post it. Just wait a few years and there will be a ton of ammo cans, match containers, peanut butter jars and film canisters embedded in trees. Quote
+jmobr Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I have had a lot of trees that have eaten my fishing lures!! Quote

I know of one that's like this already, Beaver Pond Intrigue -- plastic jar in a hollow tree base that cannot be removed (but is still accessible to log). Quote
AZcachemeister Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 This thread is awesome. Some pretty interesting stuff here. I'f I ever stumble across something like this, I'll be sure to post it. Just wait a few years and there will be a ton of ammo cans, match containers, peanut butter jars and film canisters embedded in trees. Happened to me a couple of years ago. Stage 1 was a dog tag (how appropriate ) I had found somewhere. I engraved Stage 2 co-ordinates on it and screwed it onto the stub of a trimmed branch where the tree had started to grow over the stub. You needed to peer inside a hole to get the numbers. Eventually the tree closed-up the hole, but the dog-tag is still in there...somewhere. Quote
+frogcooke Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Finally have something to post here. Was at the dog park today(theres caches in the park too but i already did them) and saw this wire eating tree. Quote
+wanderaboutaimlessly Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Tree-Mendous GCT7HX A tree swallowing another tree? The bark on the bigger tree could be used as lumber. This is the biggest tree I've seen in this area. Upon closer inspection, we realized it was 2 very different trees at one time. If you look closely at the 1st picture, the left side of the tree has very different bark. The other 2 pictures are closer side views. Best I could do at the time with phone camera. Quote
+Harry Dolphin Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Is that what happened to Team Dennis??? Quote
+GeoStar Husband Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 On our way to this cache http://coord.info/GCDD96 we encountered these yesterday Quote
+Jeep_smee Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Most keep those trees from being stolen! Quote
+A & J Tooling Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Some from a local cemetary near here... Quote
+TheLoneGrangers Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 what a cool thread, will have to find some and snap some pics Quote
+guinea gal Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 I am surprised Gof didn't post THIS picture of one of his Multi's legs being eaten by a tree... The funny thing is, this is the container he put in the tree AFTER it ate the FIRST one!!!! Quote
+Ambrosia Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 I thought I'd posted to this, but I guess it was to the cemetery thread. I haven't seen very many hungry trees. I saw a cool one while caching a month or two ago, but it was in the dark. A wire fence went right through the center of a small tree, it almost looked like the tree was one of the wooden posts for the fence. nom nom by Ambrosia_apples, on Flickr Patriots in the Woodlands Quote
+zanadian Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Lots of cool pics in the topic, glad I can add some... Quote
knowschad Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 Lots of cool pics in the topic, glad I can add some... Thanks for adding more great pics to this thread! I'm not so sure that one is family friendly, though. Quote
+wimseyguy Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Found a cache called 7-up with a bison tube hidden in a soda bottle eaten by a tree so long ago it's almost 7 feet up! Quote
randy patzer Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 WOW some cool photos WOW if we had a geo catch specific to these trees I would have more finds the wife says im blind I know of a few will go take photo and add Quote
+fizzymagic Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Glad you bumped it. We found this cache eaten by a tree last summer: Quote
majormajor42 Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 wow! Next time I DNF, my excuse will be it must have been eaten by a tree. Quote
+the3gmen Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 looks like this object is hungry for the tree. Quote
knowschad Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 looks like this object is hungry for the tree. Give it time... the tree will win. Quote
majormajor42 Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 looks like this object is hungry for the tree. Give it time... the tree will win. If that location is close to home, you should go back and take a picture on the same day every year from the same spot. Would make a nice movie in about 20 or more years. Quote
+DragonsWest Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I'm jealous. All I saw were trees eating barb wire this weekend. Oh, and two tree french kissing, but nobody wants to see that. Quote
+Harry Dolphin Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Found a cache called 7-up with a bison tube hidden in a soda bottle eaten by a tree so long ago it's almost 7 feet up! I guess I shouldn't point out to you that trees grow from the top, not the bottom. If the soda bottle's seven feet up, it was always seven feet up. Quote
+Ed_M Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I guess I shouldn't point out to you that trees grow from the top, not the bottom. Wait, then how come the trunk gets larger in diameter at ground level? Quote
+Totem Clan Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Trees grow in only two places. The tip(s) grow up and the whole tree grows out or around. Edited March 13, 2012 by Totem Clan Quote

+J Grouchy Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Did anyone even bother asking the tree if it minded having cyclists around? Quote
+Viajero Perdido Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Here's a standard buried-pipeline sign, now facing the trunk of a tree. I had to wonder... Will they eventually move the sign, or the tree? Quote
+Heli Leo Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I guess whoever parked this wagon here forgot to come back. That is a manure spreader, not a wagon. Quote
+T.D.M.22 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I guess whoever parked this wagon here forgot to come back. *snip* That is a manure spreader, not a wagon. And that picture was posted 5 years ago....Do we have pictures of zombies in trees? Quote
+J Grouchy Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 It certainly would be fascinating to see some sort of time lapse on some of these. It would probably be pretty wild to watch a tree slowly ooze around and envelope these objects. Quote
+ByronForestPreserve Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 This one is near the cache I named "Wilson," for obvious reasons. Quote
Keystone Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 The thread bump gives me an opportunity to move this topic to the Photography forum. Quote
+Ma & Pa Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 There is a virtual cache in Quebec City that is a cannonball in a tree. There are over 2500 found it logs and 2200 photos in the gallery. Here is a link to the gallery http://www.geocaching.com/seek/gallery.aspx?guid=0bf0fc70-b897-48a3-ac94-ac2d69d9c0ef Quote
+KatnissRue Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Glad you bumped it. We found this cache eaten by a tree last summer: I wonder if any TBs were in there. Quote

+FalseFruit Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 This hungry tree savors rocks! P.S. The tree can be found in the Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia along with a lot of other beautiful sights! Ah Ha! Now we know that paper beats rock! Quote
+J Grouchy Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Austria firewood explodes in wood stove VIENNA (AP) — Austrian police investigating a grenade blast were less puzzled by the explosion and more by where it took place — inside a wood stove that appeared to contain nothing but firewood. The woman who owned the wood burner also had no clue at first. After all, she only put firewood inside. Or so she thought. Police spokeswoman Petra Datscher said Monday a World War II grenade apparently landed on a tree during fighting. It was then enveloped by wood growing around it to the point that it was invisible when the tree was chopped down for firewood and sold to the supermarket where the unidentified 22-year-old woman bought it. The blast Sunday in the lakeside town of Gmunden shattered the stove's glass panel, but the sturdy wrought-iron stove prevented injuries. Quote
+Zuuk Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Here's one along an old rail bed that served a rock quarry. Quote
