Heartland Cacher: Greetings from Geocaching.com I'm Heartland Cacher, one of the volunteer reviewers for new caches submitted to Geocaching.com.

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses from the Cache Owner about maintaining this cache which makes it appear the Cache Owner is either unwilling or unable to maintain the cache. Cache maintenance includes listing maintenance including updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, removing needs maintenance attributes and enabling the listing. The cache will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. Should the owner decide to maintain the cache in the near future (30 days), just contact me (by email including the GCXXX and Cache Name), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, I'll be happy to unarchive it.

Thanks for your understanding,
Heartland Cacher

Geocache Description:

These are not the actual coordinates. To find the final coordinates you must Know Your Trees.

Final Cache N41' 3A.B C D W093' 4E.F G H

To find this cache you must first identify the trees at each of these coordinates. Go to the coordinates listed below and identify the tree at each location. Most of these will be trees standing alone. If there are a group of trees, identify the largest one. When you identify a tree, use it’s number to fill in the appropriate blank in the final coordinates. You will need to drive between each of these locations. Some of them you will be able to locate & identify from your car.
When I posted the “Know Your Trees” Cache in Pleasant Hill I received several E-mails wanting help. Trees are hard to identify in the winter. In “Know Your Trees West”, I selected trees with stronger all year long characteristics. It will be much easer to identify these trees even in the winter.

If you are a good scout, you will be able to read the "signs" which identify their type. Some of them are still tricky. There are some types of trees that you will find more than once.
