This cache is located in the Dishman
Hills Natural Area. Best access is from the 8th Street
Trailhead. Coordinates for parking are N47 38.984 W117
18.171.
OK, the story behind this cache is as
follows... One of my TBUGs ended up in a cache called "Spawner" in
Pennsylvania, which I found was a spin-off of a cache called
BREEDER
. I thought this was such a neat idea that I decided to plant
one in our own Spokane area. The idea is to pick up The Seed
Pod if available, and place it into a NEW cache of yours.
Then your cache, and any offspring it produces, will also be
part of the Geo-Family Tree. I will add all links (relatives) of
the Geo-Family Tree to this cache page so hopefully we can grow
a pretty decent tree.
Update: In July 2004, I tried to contact
Yrium to let him know about all the caches that have been created
as a result of his Spawner cache. After awhile, I received an email
from his wife, Whistlestick, who greatfully sent me the message
below.
I'm sorry to inform you that Yrium lost
his long battle with cancer this month. Thank you for brightening
his life, the geocaching world has really touched his heart. I wish
you happy caching.
This message also touched my heart, and I am
glad that the Geo-Family Tree is still thriving, and is now, in
memory of Yrium.

There are just a couple
of rules to follow:
1. The The Seed
Pod must be planted within 30 miles of the Mother Cache
and
2. It must be planted
within 30 days of discovery.
If you do pick up a pod
and plant it from one of her offspring, please send me an email so
I can update the family tree. NOTE: Despite the fact that Momma has
passed into her golden years, you can still visit the cache and
make a log, just like regular caches. Please email me if you have
any questions.
