This cache is dedicated to all the searchers who are allergic to pine/spruce tree hides, whether they break out in physical hives or just imaginary hives at merely the thought of searching the beacon! Public Service Announcement: if you get some Fels Naptha soap, and slurry it up in water, it helps break down the oils in pines, spruces, poison ivy, wild parsnips, etc.
