TO THE CLOUDS! ... Mission 3, is the third cache in a
growing series of climbs. They can be done separately and in any
order. Just get there, hang on tight, and enjoy the view!
This one has a "GREEN" theme (...it's
next to a swamp after-all).
Note: Because of proximity to housing full stealth
mode is recommended at ground zero.
Congratulations to Skyecat, entogeek, Barnie's Band of
Gold and GPS Derek for the FTF!

First *confirmed* climb goes to Fababoo, with the assistance of
Big*J and SoupKing!
From the suggested parking, hike around the east side of Stevenson
Swamp and you'll eventually find another lovely climbing specimen.
A good path takes you about half way, then break right (at the
pipe) and forge your own path. Your mission - should you choose to
accept it - is to sign the log in a lofty camo'd container.
Good treads will serve you well here and I personally don't
recommend this in the dark; some tricky terrain with plenty of
tripping potential. Otherwise it's a beautiful spot with lovely
scenery ... including the occasional raptor overhead. Note: there
are a few houses close to the GZ so STEALTH is key.
Happily for some, this tree gives you two retrieval
options:
1 - Climb to your hearts content! It's very do-able, though
challenging at first.
2 - No climbing required! Hmmm... you'll have to figure it
out... no special tools needed.
Note: If you choose to climb to this cache, you do so at your own
risk. I encourage you to bring a "ground control" buddy when going
vertical... and know your limits.
