In A Tree

[+ccm352]

Any one ever hide a cache that requires someone to climb a tree?

Hidden? No. Found? Yes- more than once. Fun each time. They brought back good memories, as I was thought to be part monkey when I was young......

This cache was in a tree. It caused a minor flap in the forums about safety then vanished shortly after. It really was a fun one!

I recently found a cache that was hidden on top of an abandoned telephone pole.

I've also found a cache hidden in a tree (no ropes or pulleys) and had to climb about 20-25 feet up to retrieve it. The branches were many, and they were stable. I had a small debate with the folks I was with, as to the terrain rating of such a cache, i.e. if the tree itself counted as terrain, or only the land on the way to GZ. I voted the tree itself counted, and would therefore raise the terrain rating of such a cache. Although, I could also see the difficulty rating being increased instead.

I have the first stage of a multi about 20 feet up in a pine tree. I also found several caches in trees. Its a common practice.

 

With well over 100,000 caches active and probably half that number now archived, the answer to the question "Has anybody every hidden a cache in ______(fill in the blank)?" is invariably yes.
