Treetop Scramble Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

tomsqrd: After hearing of several complaints from other cachers regarding the police, I've decided to pack this cache in and perhaps locate a new one in a tree where it won't get as much attention. Thanks to all who found it and who enjoyed the challenge.

Geocache Description:


Trees possess majestic beauty. They symbolize strength and endurance. Our reverence and affection for trees predates written history. But while our appreciation for trees is ageless, not so the knowledge required for their proper care. By the late 1800s, plant care had become an established and rapidly growing profession. During that same era, expanding industrialization and urbanization were adding new stresses to trees, and the detrimental effects were becoming apparent. Unfortunately, scientific understanding of plant dysfunction and reliable information about plant care were scarce.

Today, arboriculture has evolved into a highly specialized industry requiring excellent physical skills, as well as specialized equipment and training. This cache requires all of an arborist's skills to retrieve. It is located in a White Oak in Cardiff Park approximately 13m in the air.

Please do not attempt this cache without the proper training and equipment and DEFINITELY do not use tree spurs, which any arborist knows will damage a live tree. The cache container is covered in blaze orange tape and will not be too difficult to spot, the difficulty lies in getting to the cache location.
